    This chapter reviewed different types of information sources. They can be categorized as primary, secondary, or tertiary sources. They can also be identified by different formats, such as books, podcasts, and documentaries. All sources have some level of bias, so it’s important to keep in mind how a resource might be biased and how that might impact your own research.
