There are a variety of information sources.
Where should you look?

1. Encyclopedias, dictionaries, almanacs, atlases, and handbooks are great starting points for overviews of topics or quick facts.
2. Newspapers and magazines are reader-friendly and good for current events. Journals are more academic in nature.
3. Books cover a topic thoroughly, though they may not be as current as other sources.

And there's the Internet. . .
