Katy,
What I would recommend is a copy of J-HDBK-001, which has a good reference
section on fluxes.  You can do literature searches on any of the following
names:  Al Schneider or Dr. Karen Tellefesen of Alpha Metals, Dave Scheiner
or Dave Torp of Kester Solders.  You can also look on the web sites for
Cookson, Kester, AIM, Loctite, and they would all have elementary
information on fluxes.  You can also go back through the technet archives
and look up Brian Ellis' contributions on the topic.  All are must reads.

All-

I am working on a project at my University, and in the literature review
section of the paper I need to speak to some basics of solder flux. I am
actually having a hard time finding "basic" (and referenceable)
information on solder flux. I need sources that will explain what the
different parts of the flux do as well as the inherent differences
between fluxes that are liquid (such as wave flux) vs. flux that is
found in solder pastes. If anyone can assist me in this endeavor it
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Katy
