A little lesson on sources.  

Why might you choose one source over another, you ask?

For instance:      

What is the difference between Primary and Secondary sources?

·         Primary sources provide a first-hand account of a topic. 

·         Secondary sources provide second-hand information often based on primary source information.

·         Primary sources have advantages in some situations, but both can provide value.

Consider for yourself:
