Where to find information

Sources of Information

Before you start searching, you may want to consider what kinds of information you need. For example:

  • Do you need the most up-to-date information? You may need news sources.
  • Do you need scholarly or historical information? You may need journal articles, books, or educational websites.
  • Do you need data and statistics? You may need to use government or organizational websites.
