Research and Writing: Primary and Secondary Sources

Primary & Secondary Sources

What are sources of information? How do I know what type of information I am using? 

This video explores three types of information: primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. Knowing about these types of information will help you find the right information you need for your research needs. 

Single Sign On credentials might be required to access the video. For more information about accessing CPTC Library resources off campus, please visit the OpenAthens LibGuide.
