How do I get started?

Ask yourself the following questions:

What type of assignment is it?
How much information do I need?
Is timeliness or currency an issue?
Do I need information from a certain type of publication?
- What if I need to find scholarly journals?
Is point of view an issue?
What if I hate to go to the library?

Do I need information from a particular type of publication?

For some assignments, you may need information from professional or scholarly journals, while others may require information from sources such as newspapers, government publications, or popular magazines. In many cases, your professor will specify what kinds of sources you should use. Reference librarians can also help you to determine which sources are appropriate for your assignment.
