Depending upon whether you require historical, chronological or current information, ask yourself these questions:

  • What is the copyright date of the book?
  • What is the publication date of a journal?
  • Are there dead links on the Web site? What is the creation and revision date?
  • What is the time span covered by the document (is it current or historical)?
  • Do you need primary or secondary sources?
