SOURCES OF
INFORMATION
 Learning OBJECTIVES
0 Identify the different sources of
1 information and its type.
Compare
02 and contrast the contents of the
materials viewed with outside sources of
information in
terms of accessibility and effectiveness.
Apply
0 their understanding of primary and
3 secondary sources to conduct
independent research projects.
 What is PRIMARY
these sources
SOURCES? are records of events or
evidence as they are first described or
actually happened without any
interpretation or commentary. It is
information that is shown for the first time
or original materials on which other
research is based. Primary sources display
original thinking, report on new discoveries,
 What is PRIMARY
Example:
SOURCES?Thesis, dissertations, scholarly
journal articles (research based), some
government reports, symposia and
conference proceedings, original artwork,
poems, photographs, speeches, letters,
memos, personal narratives, diaries,
interviews, autobiographies, and
correspondence.
 What is SECONDARY
SOURCES?
While primary sources are the original records
created by firsthand witnesses of an event,
Secondary sources these sources offer an
analysis or restatement of primary sources.
They often try to describe or explain primary
sources. They tend to be works which
summarize, interpret, reorganize, or otherwise
provide an added value to a primary source.
 What is SECONDARY
SOURCES?
Examples: Textbooks, edited works, books
and articles that interpret or review
research works, histories, reviews of law
and legislation, political analyses and
commentaries.
SOURCES OF INFORMATION

SOURCES OF INFORMATION
TERTIARY Sources
is an information source that compiles,
analyses, and synthesizes both primary and
secondary sources. These are sources that
index, abstract, organize, compile, or digest
other sources. Some reference materials and
textbooks are considered tertiary sources when
their chief purpose is to list, summarize or
simply repackage ideas or other information.
SOURCES OF INFORMATION
TERTIARY Sources
Examples: Dictionaries, encyclopedias,
almanacs, fact books, Wikipedia,
bibliographies, directories, guidebooks,
manuals, indexing and abstracting sources.
• Indexes – provide citations that fully identify a
work with information such as author, titles of a
book, article and/ or journal, publisher and
publication date, volume and issue number and
page numbers.

• Databases – are online indexes that

usually include abstracts for each
primary or secondary resource, and
may also include a digital copy of
 SOURCES OF INFORMATION
• Primary sources of information are the original
works which include poems, diaries, court records,
interviews, surveys, original research, scholarly research
and academic journals.
• Secondary Sources of information are the materials
describing or analyzing primary sources like
dictionaries, encyclopedias, textbooks, books, and
articles that interpret, review or synthesize
research/fieldwork.
• Tertiary Sources of information are those used to
organize and locate secondary and primary sources
 SOURCES OF INFORMATION
• ·Primary sources or fi rsthand accounts
(information in its original form, not translated
or published in another form)
• ·Secondary sources or secondhand
information (a restatement, analysis, or
interpretation of original information),
• ·Tertiary sources or third-hand information (a
summary or repackaging of original information,
often based on secondary information that has
been published).
 SOURCES OF INFORMATION
Example:

Primary Source
(Original, Firsthand Information)
J.D. Salinger’s novel Catcher in the
Rye.
 SOURCES OF INFORMATION
Secondary Source
(Secondhand Information)
A book review of Catcher in the Rye, even if
reviewer has a diff erent opinion than anyone
else has ever published about the book-
he or she is still just reviewing the original
work and all the information about the
book here is secondary.
