How do you know what kind of sources to look for?

Ask yourself these questions before you start your research:

  • Do I know enough about my topic to choose meaningful search terms?
    • Reference books such as encyclopedias are useful sources for learning basics about a topic before starting your research.
  • Does it matter how old your sources are?  
    • Should you use sources dating from the beginning of time to the present? 
    • Do you only want the most current information?
  • How specific is your topic? 
    • ​Are you giving a broad overview of the topic?
    • Do you need in-depth research on the topic?
  • Who counts as a credible writer on this topic?
    • Does the writer need to be an expert in the field?  What kind of credentials will prove that this person is an expert?
    • Is it okay for the writer to be a non-expert who cites his/her sources well?

Find Background Information on Your Topic

These sources will help you find background information on your topic. 

This can help you:

  • Discover which aspects of your topic are most important to other researchers.  Your instructor will likely expect you to address these areas.
  • Find search terms.
  • Learn basic facts about your topic that may help you narrow your search.
