Explanation:

• Starting with accessible materials like textbooks is a valid first step for research, as they provide foundational context.
• Libraries' online catalogs are key tools to locate books, journals, and other research materials, so this is a true statement.
• Choosing books over periodicals is false; periodicals (like academic journals) offer up-to-date, specialized research that complements books.
• Excluding government documents is false, as they are often authoritative, data-rich sources for many research topics.

Answer:

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