The steps below comprise a basic, commonsense approach that can help you to find relevant, quality information. Information which you may be seeking as part of writing a paper, preparing for a presentation, working on a lab experiment, answering a question, seeking more depth on a news report, etc.

This Information Strategy consists of the following four parts:

  1. Define ... a topic by gathering authoritative and understandable overview information about it.
  2. Identify ... specific sources of information (articles, books, government documents, etc.) relevant to the defined topic.
  3. Locate ... the articles, books, documents, etc. at your local library, online, or elsewhere.
  4. Evaluate ... the validity, objectivity, and usefulness of the information you have gathered.
