B. Library
A place in which literary, music, artistic, or reference materials (such as books, manuscripts, recordings,
or films) are kept for use but not for sale. (Merriam Webster’s 11th collegiate Dictionary)
Other examples of primary sources include e-mails, interviews, journal articles, letters, minutes of
meetings, conferences and symposia, newspaper articles, original documents (e.g., birth certificate,
marriage certificate), photographs, records of organizations, research survey results, speeches, works
of art, literature, architecture, and music, and websites.
B. Secondary Sources of Information:
Compared to primary sources, secondary sources are not easily defined. Generally, written after an
original product, they usually aim to give reflection or analysis. In short, they are analyses, interpretations,
and evaluations of primary sources. Secondary sources are not proof, but rather explanation on and
discussion of evidence. Secondary sources may be classified as index type, survey type, and reference
type.
Indexes are typically found as one or more individual volumes at the end of a set. Examples are
index, bibliography, indexing periodicals, and abstracting periodicals.
2
Survey type involves the product of examination or description of someone or something.
Examples are reviews, treatises, and monographs.
The reference type consists of materials collected from others’ works such as encyclopedia,
dictionary, handbook, manual and critical tables.
C. Tertiary Sources of information:
Tertiary sources are commonly confused with secondary sources. Tertiary sources involve information
that collects and organizes primary and secondary sources. Tertiary sources include bibliographies of
bibliographies, directories and yearbooks, guides to literature, and lists of research in progress.
