Begin Research: But most of my sources are blogs, YouTube videos, and public websites.

This is great, but most of my sources are blogs, YouTube videos, and websites. How do I cite those?

A word to the wise—if your assignment requires you to use scholarly sources, and most of your information comes from blogs, YouTube videos, and websites, you need to Ask a Librarian how to find scholarly books and articles.

Information from those sources will impress your professor in a way that information from websites and YouTube won’t.

Blogs, not so great so use scholarly sources
