What information do I need?
- What is my assignment asking for?
- How many sources do I need?
- What types of sources will answer my question?
- What criteria must they meet?
Where might I find it?
- Is your instructor asking for particular types of sources?
- Who (individual or organization) is the most authoritative source of that information?
- What format will be most appropriate for my purposes?
How will I know if it's any good?
- What should I look for that will indicate the quality of the source?
- What is the intended audience of the source?
- Who wrote/created the source? What is their stake in the issue?
