With the proliferation of information available today is important to critically think about which sources you consult as you make your way through the research process. It can be confusing to know if newspaper articles, books, journal articles or the internet would satisfy your information needs. Some assignments may require you to use certain types of sources such as primary or secondary sources, or specific types of periodicals, such as scholarly journals. Other assignments may require you to limit the number of sources you use from the free web.
