Drowning in information

we just had a session in the university library where all the available resources for finding information (books, articles, essays, sites and so on) were presented. We are going to write a c-level thesis this semester, and need to find aproperiate info, obviously. But sometimes it feels like I am drowning in all the information from all these databases! And considering that I am a very experienced internet user, this must be totally mind-blowing for someone who is not so used to the net and finding information!

I am considering writing my thesis on Fair Trade. That way I might combine my studies at the university with those at the Red Cross, and get the maximum learning experience with less effort.
