As I research, since I've been at it since middle school, I always start with a topic or a question. Everything I do then stems from that or coincides directly with the topic. The following step is then to extract what I know already abou the topic and see if there are any leads and interesting paths to take on the topic.
For the actual research portion the first step is to usually go online and see what there is to offer from a Google search. Usually nothing of variety comes from the search, especially when the subject is very specialized or unique, and then I head to the library. I love going to the library and searching through the catalogue to find as many books that might work with the topic.
