So although you don't have an essay over the midterm this is the perfect time to look into your research topic. I will be expecting some concrete ideas when you return after the midterm!!
Here are some links that will help you investigate your idea:
http://www.mayolibrary.ie/en/home/index.aspx
On this site you can search your idea using the catalogue and find any relevant books. It will also tell you what library the book you want is in. It's a good idea to ensure you have one source written by an historian before you begin the topic
http://leavingcerthistory.net/latest-news/
This gives you an example of a research topic and might provide some inspiration!
Also it is important to ask yourself:
· Is the subject historically significant (no credit will be given for historical content more recent than 1993 in the case of Ireland or 1992 in the case of Europe)?
The best way to approach it is to firstly find an area of History you are interested in, then Google it and some ideas might appear. Then if something really grabs your attention you can search the online catalogue of Mayo County Library.
Enjoy!
