2024 HOA IA: Evaluating Sources

• Popular vs. Scholarly Sources
• Primary vs. Secondary Sources
• Finding scholarly sources in a database
• Are book reviews a scholarly source?

• Academic Journal
• Book review
• Excerpt
• Peer Review
• Primary Source
• Secondary Source
• Scholarly

Although I can not cite a book review from an academic journal in my IA bibliography:

• if I read the review and the book is on topic for my research,
• I can search for the book in my school library or a library nearby to further my research

Topic example: George Washington
