Information skills: Scope your search

2) Where will I find this information to succeed?

• Use a variety of sources such as online and print or primary sources such as statistics.
• Each discipline has its own special sources so you will need to familiarize yourself with these. 
• Check out your subject guide or talk to your tutor to find out more.
• Decide how much information you need to complete your assessment.                                                                                                                                                  

This process helps you decide which sources of information are suitable  for your assignment. Finding appropriate resources for your assignment will earn you more marks.

One way to review what you already know and what you will need to find out is through Mind Mapping which is a visual way to plan and order your ideas. Below are helpful printable guides and videos to explain this popular concept further.
