How to Evaluate Sources

This brief video shares three themes you will want to think through as you evaluate information sources for a research paper or project (authority, accuracy, objectivity), as well as specific questions you will want to pose as you investigate a source’s authority, accuracy, and objectivity or perspective. 

This video is the second video in Module 2: Evaluating Sources of the Foundations of the Research Process series created by the Purdue University Libraries and School of Information Studies.
