What makes information useful?
Information can be found in a variety of formats and sources. It is not difficult to find information, but it can be difficult to find useful information.
Information is useful if it answers your research question or provides information on your topic. Useful information is appropriate for your assignment and is from a reliable source.
When working on a research project, you'll want to search in a variety of sources to be sure that you don't miss a useful book, article, or web resource.
For information on Effective Searching Techniques, please see the Getting Starting with Research Guide section on search techniques. This section explains keyword searches, boolean searches, subject searches, limiters, etc.
