Secondary Sources
Secondary sources are materials that explain and analyze a subject in a particular area. When you're starting a research project and you're unfamiliar with a subject area try starting with more basic secondary sources such as academic books and e-books.
When you're more familiar with your topic, you can move to more detailed secondary sources, such as books from academic publishers, peer-reviewed journal articles found through OCtopus or by accessing them through the library's Research Databases or Journals/E-Journals.
