''It's fun to research,'' agreed Jeanne Williams, the winner of four awards for her Western novels. ''You can go on researching forever and never get to your book.''vtna Kelton, Williams and Preston Lewis, Texas Tech's director of Library Development and External Relations and president of Western Writers of America, led a symposium on historical research in fiction Thursday morning. The event was part of a week of events celebrating Texas Tech's new Southwest Collections/Special Collections Library.

The novelists said they have a variety of ways of conducting their research.

Use the introduction to state your thesis, outline the main points you will make in the essay, and describe the conclusions which you will draw in the essay.
