Researching a Topic

Researching about a specific topic can be a

tough responsibility when you do not know
where to get all the information you need.
While information is literally everywhere, it
is essential that one knows how to select
possible or potential sources of information.
An information source is a database of facts or
anything that might inform a person about any
given topic. It can be in the form of observation ,
people speeches, source documents, pictures,
organization, etc.
There are three common types of search
engines one may use. These are general
search engines, metasearch engines, and
specific search engines.
