Available Sources
Information can come from virtually any place--personal experiences, books, articles, expert opinions, encyclopedias, the Web -- and the type of information you need will change depending on the question you are trying to answer. Look at the following sources of information. Notice the similarities between them.
Keep in mind the following three questions:
- Which sources can you find online?
- Which sources guide you to other information on your topic?
- Which sources would you use when writing a research paper?
