Information in any format is produced to convey a message and is shared via a chosen delivery method. The processes of researching, creating, revising, and disseminating information vary, and the resulting product reflects these differences.
Therefore, the information you seek determines which type of format best meets those needs.
Information on a topic varies from format to format
Remember, different formats provide different levels of information on a specific topic, in terms of depth & authority. For that reason, we recommend utilizing SPCC Library resources when conducting academic research. This way, you can be assured the sources are credible & thorough.
A blog such as MuggleNet will not provide the same depth nor level of authority as would a scholarly article reviewing Harry Potter novels.
