Information Literacy: An essential skill to enhance your research & assignments

Tip 2: Don't Find Answers: Search for Resources to Develop Ideas

There are so many different types of resources (i.e., ideas containers) available at the library, do you know they were produced to serve very different purposes?

Let's watch the story of the information below.


In the video, each type of resource was created to serve a particular purpose: to transmit facts, to interpret the findings, to put forward a viewpoint, to let fellow workers know some important idea, and so on.

To access subject specific resources, check out our PolyU Subject Guides here.

To understand more details about each type of resources mentioned in the video, read the slides below!
