Explanation:

• Starting with accessible materials like textbooks helps build foundational knowledge for research, so this is valid.
• Books and periodicals both have value; prioritizing one over the other is not correct, as periodicals offer up-to-date research.
• A library's online catalog is a standard, effective tool to locate research materials, so this is valid.
• Government documents are often credible, peer-reviewed, and relevant sources for many research topics, so excluding them is incorrect.

Answer:

• Begin with the materials closest at hand, such as textbooks.
• Make use of your library's online catalog.
