Quarter 1- Module 1: Sources of Information

MELCS: • identify different sources of information.

An information is anything we get from a source. But sometimes,

an information can just be an information but not a fact. It is very
difficult to identify if something is a fact or not. Even judging the
value of an information seems not easy. The circumstances of an
incorrect judgment of the value of an information are at stake.
Careful examination and investigation of an information should be reflected in
so that the relevance of in information is properly utilized at its purpose.
An information can come from anywhere — a person, media, personal
experiences, books, journal and magazine articles, expert opinions,
encyclopedias, and web pages.

Evaluating Your Sources

In your search for information, you eventually face the challenge of evaluating
the resources, you have located and selecting those you judge to be most
appropriate for your needs. Examine each information source you locate and
assess sources using the following criteria:

 Timeliness
Your resources need to be recent enough for your topic. If your paper is on a
topic like cancer research, you would want the most recent information, but a
topic such as World War II could use information written in a broader time
range.

 Authority
Does the information come from an author or organization that has authority
to speak on your topic? Has the information been peer-reviewed? (You can use
Ulrich web to determine if a journal is peer-reviewed). Do they cite their
credentials? Be sure there is sufficient documentation to help you determine
whether the publication is reliable including footnotes, bibliographies, credits,
or quotations.
 Audiednce
Who are the intended readers and what is the publication's purpose? There is a
difference between a magazine written for the general public and a journal
written for professors and experts in the field.

 Relevance
Does this article relate to your topic? What connection can be made between
the information that is presented and your thesis? An easy way to check for
relevance is by reviewing the Abstract or Summary of the article before
downloading the entire article.
 Perspective
Biased sources is used in creating and developing an argument, but make sure
you find sources to help you understand the other side as well. Extremely
biased sources will often misrepresent information and that can be ineffective
to use in your paper.

 Evaluating Websites
Websites create an interesting challenge in evaluating credibility and
usefulness because no two websites are created the same way.

The look and feel of the website - Reliable websites usually have a more professional
look and feel than personal Web sites.

The URL of your results - The .com, .edu, .gov, .net, and .org all mean something and
can help you to evaluate the website! Informational Resources are those which present
information. These are usually sponsored by educational institutions or governmental
agencies. (These resources often include .edu or .gov.)

Advocacy Resources are those sponsored by an organization that is trying to sell

ideas or influence public opinion. (These resources may include .org within the URL.)

Business or Marketing Resources are those sponsored by a commercial entity that is

trying to sell products. These pages are often very biased but can provide useful
information. (You will usually find .com within the URL of these resources.)

News Resources are those which provide extremely current information on hot topics.
Most of the time news sources are not as credible as academic journals, and
newspapers range in credibility from paper to paper. (The URL will usually
include .com.)

Personal Web Pages/Resources are sites such as social media sites: blogs,
Twitter pages, Facebook, etc. These sources can be helpful to determine what
people are saying on a topic and what discussions are taking place. Exercise
great caution if trying to incorporate these sources directly into an academic
paper. Very rarely, if ever, will they hold any weight in the scholarly
community.
