TILT - Finding Information

Accessing Information

Information can come from virtually anywhere -- personal experiences, books, articles, expert opinions, encyclopedias, the Web -- and the type of information you need will change depending on the question you are trying to answer. Look at the following sources of information. Notice the similarities between them.

Keep in mind the following three questions:

  1. How can you access this information- where can it be found?
  2. Which sources guide you to other information on your topic?
  3. Which sources would you use when writing a research paper?

Click on each of the nine sources below to learn more about them.
