    Critical Thinking: What Type of Resource is it?

    You come across an article that is available in both PDF and HTML format. You’re unsure if it’s a magazine or scholarly article. What are some key indicators you will look for to assist you in determining which one it is? And then will you download it, email it, or save it for later? Why would you choose one of these ways over the other?
