In order to analyze and discuss the claims and ideas in the popular source, use scholarly information sources, including researched and peer-reviewed journals, government websites, and other professional sources (again, not news sources) as outlined in the paper assignment/rubric.
To find and select your scholarly sources, work your way down this page, trying different strategies in different resources, using terms and concepts taken from your original source. There is not a single strategy that will work for all topics, so be flexible and try searching several resources. On this page and on the other two pages, you'll find some helpful videos and tutorials on how best to search, but if you get stuck and need help or have a question, contact us using the Ask now chat or the Ask Us email form. A librarian will get back to you within 24 hours, Monday - Friday.
These databases are good ones to use, too.
Government sources provide statistical information as well as other vetted infomaiton.
Try using the websites listed below, or identify others by doing a Google search, limiting to .gov domain, as shown here.
