__**Primary and Secondary Sources**__ A primary source is information that is first hand or information that coming directly from the time the event happened. Primary sources can be items such as letters, photographs, newspaper and speeches. Secondary sources are information that comes from books, textbooks, and journal articles. When comparing primary to secondary sources the major differences are the information is coming from another person point of view other than the person themselves. Most secondary sources are gathered from primary sources especially when writing a book or biography on someone. It is appropriate to use these sources when trying to complete a research paper or trying to gather information for a topic. Each source can be very helpful when using them for references.

__** Peer-Reviewed and Popular Sources **__ Articles in peer-reviewed are articles chosen by the author’s peers in his field of study, signed by the author, written in a specialized language, and contain few photographs. Some examples are Business journals and magazines. Peer-reviewed work is original, valid, and significant. Popular sources the articles are chosen by the editor, often unsigned, references not cited, contain lots of photographs. An example is the News and World Report. In an academic situation we feel it appropriate when you need to cite your work and need more facts not opinions. It’s appropriate to use a popular source when looking for pictures and for articles chosen by an editor. Peer-reviewed and popular sources can both be helpful it’s all according to what you are looking for to complete your research. //Ulrich’s International Periodicals Directory// R 016.05 U17p

__**Plagiarism**__ Plagiarism is copying someone else’s work from books, newspapers, magazines without indicating the source. It is important to document your sources because if you don’t it’s considered taking credit for someone else’s work making it your own. Plagiarism is never a good option you should always cite your references and sources and never claim someone else’s work for your own. It is good to use different types of sources to complete a research paper just make sure that references are cited. http://wps.prenhall.com/hss_understand_plagiarism_1

__Subject Headings and Keywords__ A Subject heading are controlled vocabulary words assigned to describe the content of each item in a database or catalog. Subject headings are less flexible you need to know the exact term or vocabulary. The results you get from subject headings are usually relevant to the topic. Knowing the subject heading makes your research more precise and accurate. Keywords terms are natural language words describing your topic they are usually a good way to start a search. Databases look for keywords in any field by title, author, name, and subject headings. The results are often irrelevant when using keywords terms. Searching is more flexible you can combine terms in a number of ways. Most libraries share the same subject headings and periodical databases vary within the different terms using subject heading. As a group we feel subject headings are the best way to search finding what you need is easier and takes up less time when trying to complete research. http://www.library.illinois.edu/learn/tutorials/keywordvssubject.html

__Classification Systems__ Classification systems purpose it to classify books by subjects that are similar to each other and to organize books by using that particular system. The Dewey Decimal system accommodates books in a wide variety of books it a system that organizes books by numbers using decimals. A classification system is an organization of books. Looking for a book using the library classification system you would find the subject then look for the book by call numbers or by alphabet according to the system that you are using. Libraries classification systems are very important to know when looking for a book. It makes it much easier to find what you are looking for when researching.
