When considering a source, ask yourself some basic questions:
- What's the purpose of this source? Who is the intended audience?
- What kind of source is it? Is it a book, book chapter, journal article, magazine/news article, trade/professional article, report, etc.?
- Does this source fulfill the assignment requirements? If it is an article, is it peer-reviewed?
- If it is a book, where was it published?
- Who is the author and what are their credentials?
