How to do Research  Research is difficult for people because  they are ill-prepared.  they have the wrong perceptions about what research is.  they have difficulty in formulating a research question.  they have not usually undergone a creative thinking course.  they do not read widely enough.  they do not know how to use the Web for research (or CD-ROMs and the library as well!)  their supervisors do not themselves fully understand the research process and how to best explain it.  Students new to research must learn how to do research. My multi-disciplinary How to do Research CD-ROM (Windows format) helps here.  " I wish I had known about all this help available ... when I was doing my PhD."- Elspeth Rae
