This activity will walk you through the process of using library tools to gather information across different types of resources. In the process of working on a research project, you will need to consult and use a variety of resource types:
* Primary sources

* Scholarly articles (e.g. from scholarly, peer-reviewed journals)
* Popular articles (e.g. from magazines or newspapers)
* Books

You will use these different sources in different ways, and you will use different tools and strategies to find and evaluate these sources.

Topic: Water Rights, Fresh Water, Water Access, etc.
