Using citations is one of the best ways to find more information about a topic you're researching!
Once you find a really good article on your topic, take a look at the references. Citations give you the bibliographic information you need in order to find the articles the author used for his/her research.
If you understand each part of the citation, it makes it possible for you to search for OR request the book or article through interlibrary loan.
