There are so many places to find information that it can be confusing to know where to start. A good place to start is to use a Library Resource Guide related to your topic. These Guides list recommended key resources and places to search for information.

Some should not be used as references in your assessments, particularly if you are asked to find scholarly or academic resources only. It is important to learn how to recognise the different sources of information and understand when you should use them.

Understanding how the information cycle works will help you know what type of information may be available, and where to look for it.
