You may find a variety of source types when working on the research for your assignment. The differences between them can vary such as the depth of topic coverage, intended audience (e.g. academic, general), and purpose. Think about what type will provide the information you need:
- Latest information on a current event?
- Current research on the topic or issue?
- Opposing perspectives for an argument?
- Overview on the topic?
Reminder: Always review the assignment for any source requirements (e.g. publication date of source, type of source).
