Research?

When researching a topic, I go through the following steps:

Step 1: Cursory glance through google to find what type of info is out there.

Step 2: I have a background in libraries and so utilize the online databases of magazine and journal articles a lot.

Step 3: I'm also a bit old-fashioned and like dogeared copies of big, tightly bound textbooks. I like knowing that many people have searched a book before me. It gives it street cred.

Step 4: If I need more info, I go straight to the people who know where to find all the juicy info on a topic: librarians.
