Finding a Research Topic, think of the following:
 

1. Topics from class discussion
2. Your actual experience as a user or staff in a library
3. List of research articles by subject compiled from past students
4. Browsing for topic in the LIS journals in LISA
 
 
 
Example:  library and information science research or libres or information research in journal name field (if interested in seeing what kinds of research topic have been done across all library types)
Example: college and research libraries or journal of academic librarianship in journal name field  (if interested in academic libraries)
Example:  Add topic for preliminary look, e.g. reference interview* or reference quer* or reference interaction* in the title field then keyword  field  but note that results will be limited since you are only limiting your search to a few journals
