LESSON 6
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.

Library
A place in which literary, musical, artistic, or reference materials (such as books,
manuscripts, recordings, or films) are kept for use but not for sale.

Books
Cover virtually any topic, fact or
fiction Useful for the complete background
on an issue or an in-depth analysis of a
theory or person. Can take years to
publish, so may not always include the
most current information
Reference Books
Include facts, figures, addresses,
statistics, definitions, dates, etc. Useful for
finding factual or statistical information or for a
brief overview of a particular topic.
Examples: dictionaries, encyclopedias,
directories
Academic Journals
Include articles written by and for
specialists/experts in a particular field
.Articles must go through a peer review process
before they’re accepted for publication. Articles tend to
have a narrower focus and more analysis of the topic
than those in other types of publications. Include
cited references or footnotes at the end of research
articles.
Examples: Journal of Communication, The Historian,
Journal of the American Medical Association
Internet
An electronic communications network that
connects computer networks and organizational
computer facilities around the world.
