Whenever you find information as you search through books, journals, and the Web, you need to examine it critically from three viewpoints:
1. Does it help answer my
thesis question? Only you can answer this question. Don't waste your time tracking down information
that doesn't help with your paper. 2. Can I use this type of information source? Be sure to review your assignment and talk with your professor about what
types of sources are acceptable.
3. Is it good, valid, information?
