Recognizing Sources

WELCOME TO THE GCC LIBRARY WORKSHOP ON Recognizing Sources

In this workshop, you will:

• Recognize that information from a variety of source types may be valuable depending on context and discipline, within various communities of knowledge and modalities of information sharing
• Interpret authority in different contexts including by discipline, by profession and within communities of knowledge

Basically, you will be able to identify types of sources based on their characteristics, credibility, and use for your research.
