Although you may not personally be looking for the information requested by the TILTOMETER, it is important to think about what you really need to find and then use a source that best meets those needs.

• If you need current information...
  newspapers and the Web might be your first place to look.
• If you want general articles...
  magazines and the Web can offer good opinions.
• When you do research...
  books, library catalogs, journals and periodical indexes are usually good choices.

Since TILT is designed primarily to help you with research skills, the next thing to think about is how and where to start your research.
