Brundage Chapter Three


In the technological age we live in we have easy access to endless amounts of information.  However, like there is a vast amount of reliable and accurate information available to us; there is even more garbage and trash.  This only stresses the importance of identifying and finding valid primary and secondary sources for scholarly research.

Brundage suggests several dependable online catalogues.  Citing sources that contain bibliographies is also key.  A source that quotes and references passages from another source without a citation should be treated with a healthy dose of skepticism.  It also important to not only search online, but seek out sources in libraries.  Some libraries keep manuscript collections containing primary data, these should not be overlooked.

Why is it important to use different sources?
Where can these sources be located?
