Primary sources First published records of original research and development Description of new application or new interpretation of an old theme or idea Unorganized sources difficult to use by themselves Subject becomes a discipline when independent primary sources begin to be produced in that area Slide 9

Two kinds: Formal and Informal. Formal sources include research organizations, societies, industries, government departments, universities, consultants. Informal sources include conversations with colleagues, visitors, attendance at professional meeting. Very often, the conversation or discussion would point out primary or secondary sources. Slide 14
15 Non-Documentary Sources 2 Informal sources are live sources which are extremely important in the process of communication. Tend to be more convenient sources because easier to have dialogue with expert than to use a bibliography or index. Conclusion Categorization information into Documentary and Non- Documentary sources based on characteristics of documents. Takes into consideration related currency and accuracy of sources of information. Slide 15
16 Non-Documentary Sources 3 Primary sources more current than secondary and tertiary. Primary sources generally more accurate than secondary sources due to the fact that these represent original ideas. However, in some cases a secondary or tertiary source may correct errors, which might have occurred in a primary source. Slide 16
