Starting a new search for any topic can be overwhelming, however, it really does not have to be! When searching the topic Women in Sport think of the different aspects of the subject: various sports, gender, and violence. Other places to find keywords are databases, articles, and your syllabus, look at the areas you will be studying, topics of discussion, and the themes themselves. When breaking the larger subject down it will be easier to focus your research and find the materials you are truly looking for. Please do not forget, when all else fails, ask the librarian.
