Chapter 9



This chapter covers searching for information within printed resources that are easily and readily available. Information within printed resources can be very valuable because of the depth that they cover. Books and periodicals are valuable because they will pertain directly to your topic and offer vast information such as case studies and first hand encounters. Bibliographies are also a valuable tool because they will list books, articles, and other publications that are relevant and useful towards your topic. The different types of bibliographies are covered such as trade, general, and specialized and knowing the difference are important.  Indexes are important to use because they can offer you abstracts to articles that directly to your topic. They offer you a direct line of information you can skim to evaluate the source and its worthiness towards your project.  One particular print I will be using probably more than others is government documents, and government document indexes. These will be especially critical during my source evaluation as they are verified and accurate documents. Other useful sources are encyclopedias, handbooks, manuals, almanacs, and atlases. I will be utilizing all of these sources to build the best research project and paper I can.
