How to use literature Anything can be used as a reference – the crtiical thing is how it’s used! to validate or refute to illustrate to defend to compare and contrast

To validate or refute - Scholarly works! What makes a work ‘scholarly’? Source of publication – i.e., juried Author’s name & credentials List of references; in-text citations Format – eg, classic 5 chapters

To validate or refute - Other Sources Government and Public Service websites – certain pages, if identified as valid information Private website – certain pages if identified as valid information

All other uses - News articles – usually anonymous Entertainment media – eg, u-tube, movies, music Fiction – novels, stories Non-juried sources - eg, Wikipedia Blogs & Personal Websites Organizational Websites

Whatever you use - Document it!
