When you have used the library catalogue and located
an item, you need to evaluate its usefulness.
With practice, this can be done quite quickly!
Here are some things you need to do:
- Read any information on the cover of the book (or video), or the Introduction section of the book.
- Look over the Contents pages
- Look in the book's Index for your specific topic. Are there a lot of page references to what you are interested in?
- Check the date of publication. Is it recent? Does this matter to you?
*For more information on evaluating information, follow
the "Evaluating information" link from the Information
Centre home page. |
