Resources in Print
The most fundamental and crucial sources of information for your study are print on paper resources. Libraries have a wealth of information from which to start your study. If you're not sure where to look for information at the library, ask a librarian; no one knows more about the library's resources than a librarian. Other than books, there are a variety of print materials available.
As previously said, books are the most essential source of information. Books offer knowledge that you can trust since it is real and well-researched. You might inquire with your research supervisor or teacher about the age of a book that you can utilize in your research.
Encyclopedias provide a wealth of knowledge since they provide material on a variety of topics in alphabetical order. An encyclopedia can readily provide some very basic information on a subject, such as definitions, kinds, forms, and history.
Bibliographies can help you figure out where to go for information on your topic. If you're not sure which source will give the information you need, visit your library's bibliographies and references section. You may discover an unexpected source in the bibliography section that you were not expecting.
Government papers are also a reliable source of data for your studies. In government documents, you may discover statistical data as well as a wealth of other information. In the libraries, you may find a list of government publications.
You can find valuable information in dictionaries, maps, and atlases in any library.
Non-print materials
Non-print materials might include any form of media that you can find in your library or on the internet.
Particularly in disciplines such as history, geography, and media studies, television broadcasts may be a valuable source of knowledge. Documentaries are useful resources, especially if you're certain in the story's veracity. TV shows and documentaries can occasionally give unique information that you won't discover anyplace else.
Videos on cassettes or CDs are also available, and you may find them in your library's media department.
Audiotapes and CDs
Speeches and lectures
Interviews
Resources available on the internet
Today, there are several electronic sources for research, the majority of which are available online in the form of catalogs. The following are a few of them:
Online catalogs provide listings for a wide range of electronic resources. You may look up books, magazines, journals, and newspaper listings on the internet. Today, every library has an online catalog that lists all of the materials that are available online. Though most libraries provide bibliographic cards, all books and journals are now available online, thus online catalogs have mostly replaced traditional catalogs.
Websites are also useful for research, but you must verify the author's and content's legitimacy before concluding that you may utilize the material in your study.
