Before searching it is always a good idea to check what the source you have chosen covers to make sure it will unearth information that matches your search need (you will notice that all the resources we?ve covered in this guide have short descriptions to enable you to decide which to use). Some of the decision makers, depending on the context of your search might be:
Does it have full text?
Does it cover the right subject?
Does it match the type of information I need, e.g. news, figures, facts, opinion, research, etc?
Does it match the right format of information I need, e.g. books, journal articles, theses, images, etc?
Does it contain peer reviewed information?
