Introduction

Not all of the information sources you identify and locate will meet your needs. Works may contain inaccurate information, or omit to take into account crucial aspects of a topic. They may reflect the bias or prejudice of the author.

Being able to critically evaluate sources is an important skill to develop.

In addition it is worthwhile evaluating the range of material that you have obtained. Do you have a good balance of Primary and Secondary Sources?
