What you will learn

We are living in the Information Age, and have access to many different sources of information. But to turn raw and unsorted data into useful information takes work. We have to make decisions about the best sources of information for the task we're doing, know where to find it and how to select what we need.

In this unit you'll learn about:

• the wide range of information sources available to you
• the strengths and weaknesses of different sources
• choosing the most appropriate sources for your research.
