MBA 511 Management Foundations: Sources of Information

Deciding Which Resource to Use

How do you know where to begin looking for important information? Consider asking yourself these questions before typing in a search box:

  1. What information do I need to solve my information need(s)?
  2. Who collects or publishes this information?
  3. Do I need recent data or historic (older) information? 
  4. How do I know the information is accurate/correct/unbiased?
  5. Where can I find this information?
  6. What steps should I take so I can find this information at a later date?
