Three Types of Resources


There are three types of resources or sources of information, namely:
primary, secondary, and tertiary.

works – poems, diaries, court records, interviews, surveys, and original
research/fieldwork, and research published in scholarly/academic journals.

2. Secondary Sources

Those that describe or analyze primary sources, including reference materials –


dictionaries, encyclopedias, textbooks, and books and articles that interpret,
review, or synthesize original research/fieldwork.

3. Tertiary Sources

--are those used to organize and locate secondary and primary sources. Indexes
provide citations that fully identify a work with information such as author, titles of
a book, article, and/or journal, publisher and publication date, volume and issue

Ways in Evaluating Information

The Library

The word "library" is used in many different aspects: from the brick-and-
mortar public library to the digital library. Public libraries serve as the best source
of information whether it's a book, a web site, or database entry.

and communications world like nothing before.
The Internet is at once a world-wide
broadcasting capability, a mechanism for
information dissemination, and a medium for
collaboration and interaction between individuals and their computers without regard
for geographic location. It represents one of the most successful examples of the
benefits of sustained investment and commitment to research and development of
information infrastructure.
