Key Tips

Bear in mind there is not one 'perfect' source. Instead, expect to synthesize information from a variety of sources in a new way.
Experiment with search terms. For example, the words textilesfibers and material all have similar meanings, but could produce different search results.
Document sources -- image and text -- during the research process. Keep notes on articles and books used, use folders in WGSN to organize images, and use any other tools and methods that work for you.
