Starting to Research on Urban Reform

For my paper, I have begun to look at various resources regarding the topic of the urban reform throughout the country and especially here in Cincinnati,Ohio. So far, I have found a surplus of information regarding the school reform and the effects it is having on our society today. Most of the resources I have been looking at thus far are books, including  A Decade of Urban School Reform. It seems that through merely glancing at these topics, the issue of school reform has been an ongoing process. Other resources I have found thus far are as follows:

Ansell, Chris, Sarah Reckhow, and Andrew Kelly. "How to Reform a Reform Coalition: Outreach, Agenda Expansion, and Brokerage in Urban School Reform." Policy Studies Journal 37.4 (2009): 717-43.

So far, these are the only items I have skimmed through at both the Cincinnati Public Library and on online data bases. My goal is to accumulate as many resources as possible and then begin to look at the direction that I would like my paper to go. This subject is something that I'm interested in, yet I do not know much about. My goal this weekend is to accumulate as many sources as possible and to start reading over them, hopefully getting an idea of where I would like the direction of my paper to go. I'm also trying to figure out Mendeley and this 750 words.com. It seems that my technological skills are limited, so I plan to keep looking further in the ways that technology can help expand my paper.
