How to Distinguish Between

Primary

• Secondary

• Tertiary

• Literature

Page 8: library class power point

Primary Sources

• Source material that is closest to the information.

• A source with direct personal knowledge of the events being described. It serves as an original source of information about the topic. A person with direct knowledge of a situation, or a document created by such a person.

• E.G. Case Reports, Clinical Trials, Original reporting articles…1st person

Page 9: library class power point

Secondary Sources

• Cite, comment on, or build upon primary sources.

• Involve generalization, analysis, synthesis, interpretation, or evaluation of the original information. If an article discusses old documents to derive a new conclusion, it is considered to be a primary source for the new conclusion

• E.G. Review Articles, meta-analysis [most peer review articles report new findings and thus are considered primary resources]

Page 10: library class power point

Tertiary Sources

• More peripheral

• Bibliographies, library catalogs, directories, reading lists and survey articles.

• Compilation of data…E.G. encyclopedias, handbooks

• Longer lead time in publishing…..
