Consider:

• Who wrote the source?
• When? Is it outdated?
• What is their methodology / sources?
• Who is the audience?
• Who is the publisher?
• Is their argument convincing?
• Is the article/book related to your paper?

Hint: This isn't a trick, and none of the sources below are "bad" -- they are just varying levels of useful.

NOTE: don't actually read the whole document. Read the abstract and skim the record.
