Last week the 4 type of information sources we talked about were books, scholarly articles, magazines, and newspapers. Each one of these are sources that we would use for research, but there all use for different from one another and are used differently. In books you will find well researched material that has been looked at by a publishing company, but not all books are the same some books are fiction and even if its non fiction it can still be a popular choice source. Its best that you look up the author of the book to see if he is really qualified. You would use a book to answer questions with quotes and facts from the book if the book  was done with actual research you will have something to back it up with. A newspaper would help you find current information, but mind you that a lot of newspaper are popular choice sources or are biased, but you can still use the in your research by giving current examples to help answer your questions. Magazines are mostly used as flashy come read me type of deal, but they are fairly current. You can still use a magazine because it is pretty recent information on it, but make sure its still a decent story because magazines are usually seen as a popular choice source instead of scholarly. Scholarly articles will have well research material in there and is a very good source for research. They are a scholarly source that are very credible. You can use this in your research to give solid facts of information
