Is the Information Appropriate for Your Needs?
|
Criteria to Consider:
- Is the information comprehensive enough for your needs?
| For example,
some sources such as CQ Researcher and encyclopedias, news,
digests,etc. provide only a summary or brief background
information on a topic. These sources are useful for quick
reference needs or short assignments. |
 |
 |
For assignments that require more depth and detail, you
will need to use more comprehensive materials such as books, dissertations and theses. |
