Starting to do webbing

I have been thinking of a search strategy. I have never had much luck finding information about this topic via Google searches. I am going to look for books, of all the sweet things. I have looked in books before but mostly I've only found books with musical scores in them and they are not so analytical. The video and audio I've found is all instructional or for pure entertainment. I am going to check the public library and University Library. I may also check some of the UL's databases. I'll search for "cowboy music" and "cowboy yodel" and "yodel" for starters. I might also go to the Eiteljorg museum. They host western music groups sometimes so there might be someone there who can help me. If all else fails, I may try to email a cowboy yodeling singer. There are piles of them on the Internet.

These presearching strategies are important in several of the models I like. For instance, Stripling's REACTS model lists "6. Plan for research" as a separate step even from the other presearching tasks. This makes a lot of sense to me, especially for beginning inquirers who might need support from teachers and media specialists to identify their options. Even more skilled inquirers, though, might be able to identify new ideas or assess their strategy better when this step is a mindful one.
