Geography 1301 - Smith, Keith: Physical Geography: Search Sources

Types of Sources

There are so many types of sources to choose from! Here are the basic categories of sources in this section and what type of information each contains.

a. Books & Media

Discover in-depth information on a topic. You have a choice of printed books or eBooks online.

b. Articles &Reference

Highlight specific aspects of a topic or focus on a specific regional issue. The library has very few printed subscriptions to magazine, journal, and newspapers. Instead, we subscribe to these full-text search tools, aka "Databases." These online databases require a login from off-campus.

c. Web Guides

 Browse a listing compiled and evaluated by your friendly SAC Librarian or search via Google.
