It is always important to critically evaluate information that you are using. In brief, if you are asked to critically analyze a source for its usefulness, you ask the following questions
Who has written the information and what authority do they have? Is the information objective or biased? Is there a hidden agenda? Is it corroborated by other sources? How current is the information? Is it relevant to your topic?
To help identify the answers to these questions we use the CRAAP test
Research is a process with many steps, and is rarely linear. A good researcher uses multiple sources and continually goes back and reviews their question and keeps adding new vocabulary and learning to their search. This Libguide has been created to provide support for your research.
There are two methods for accessing books in the library. Books on genocide can be found in different sections of the non-fiction collection.
