Reliable, Relevant Sources?

When I need to conduct research, I am one that goes to the old way of things, I look to use encyclopedias.  In today’s society I am able to use online encyclopedias which make it easier for me as far as getting to the information quickly.  Whether you do the research using book format (encyclopedia) or on the online encyclopedia, the facts are all true. When doing research for skill, educational purposes, writing a paper, completing schoolwork, or for one's personal use, you want nothing but the facts.  In addition, credible resources such as magazines and pamphlets as primary sources to support are also excellent materials for research. 

I am very successful with this research technique because computers and use of the Internet have made the process simple and more accessible than years ago.  I am able to quickly receive information to support my researched topic which in returns allows me to have more time to develop a more detailed and well thought out response when writing.  Even though our modern ways are very advanced in technology, the old school technique of researching and locating information serves to be the most beneficial because the process is teaching and one is learning. 

My strategy has been successful because I am not one to use opinions of others as part of my research.  Instead I like to use credible resources.  The only change that I might make is to use researched information from universities and colleges.  I understand that professors have already researched topics and published their response and writings and made them available as primary sources.  I like to use more of these to be able to focus on point of view of individuals. 

One must learn to use resources that have been verified and supported by research, such as, colleges and universities and published textbooks and readings.  Just because a title is given that has the letters "pedia" does not mean it is a valid resource.  That is why I suggest that all information taken from another source be verified and researched to be a fact before presenting it in one’s collective thoughts.  Do not assume that someone knows the answers and has presented the truth, verify the truth, I have always been told when you verify the truth the process is call research.
