INFORMATION SOURCES
What Is It

Information can come from virtually anywhere — media, blogs, personal experiences,
books, journal and magazine articles, expert opinions, encyclopedias, and web pages — 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.
