Find Sources

Once you have a clear topic and some keywords to search, you're ready to start looking for sources of information.  However, not all sources will be perfect for your assignment, and where you search will affect the types of sources you find.

In this section, you'll learn how to:

• Recognize different types of information sources and what they're useful for
• Understand what "peer-review" means and how it affects you
• Choose the right places to search depending on the kind of information you're looking for

💡Tip: You might not find perfect sources right away, and that's okay! Be ready to adjust your topic or your search terms as you go.
