Sources

As I am evaluating the sources I have so far I seem to be finding more useful information in news articles and other journals and articles most relavant to my topic. I haven't searched many book sources yet although I plan to spend a few hours in the library later this week finding sources in books and other library materials.

Are the rest of you having more luck using sources you found online like articles, journals, newspaper, magazine, etc or books?

I am also wondering if we are required to have sources from multiple different types of sources such as some sources from books, some found online, some from articles and journals, etc. or if we should just focus on using the most relevant and up to date sources that focus on our topics.

I seem to be having more luck using sources with shorter information that is up to date and to the point such as recent articles, news, and opinion essays but I am open to exploring other sources as well.

  1. i can agree. with my topic i am finding lots of articles as well. especially with the uwm library site. i havent looked for books either cause i been so busy finding useful articles. but i plan on asking some of the dance majors and my teachers for live interviews for my research. I think i wont start looking for books until last. Is that a bad thing?
