Once you've determined the focus of your research, you'll need to identify the type(s) of information most appropriate for your topic. Different types and formats of information may be better suited to the time frame of your topic, the perspective you want, or the scope of your research.
In this module, you will learn how to:
- Differentiate between humanities and sciences literature.
- Determine how the research timeframe influences your topic focus.
- Identify different types of sources, in particular, articles, books, and electronic sources.
- Apply the channels of information creation and distribution to the process of finding sources.
