Research Process

I am finding my success by talking to a medical professional about my topic, and she has given some direction on what information I should look at first.  I have also looked at articles and books on both sides of the issue to come up with my own argument. 

Books are on of the easiest for me to find since there is so much information from both sides on the issue.  The hardest sources for me to find are the articles and the peer review.  Every article I am finding was written in the 90's and I am having a hard time finding things more current.

What I have learned from my sources is everyone has some form of view.  The people for it give all the reasons why it should be okay, and the people against comes up with every reason why it is not okay to do.  By reading both sides I have a more clear direction on what I want my argument to be.

One of the obstacles I keep running into is everytime I look up things for my paper like books or videos someone has already checked it out, and I am placed on the holds list.  I know the direction I want to go into for my paper, so I would like some of the sources together so I can start organizing my paper.  The only problem I have with my paper is stress.  It is hard to view all my sources at one time and organize them to the way I want.  The books are sometimes hard to keep, because somebody else requested it.
