You need to incorporate at least two peer-reviewed sources and one news source into your final project. Therefore, you will want to look in databases that include journal, magazine, and newspaper articles.
Journal articles undergo a peer review process which can be lengthy and mean that they may not include the most recent information on a topic. Conversely, magazine articles and newspaper articles tend to have more current information.
Use some of the 200+ research databases provided by the UFV Library to search for articles on your specific topic. These databases can be accessed from off campus by current UFV students and employees. You will need to login to access them (see below).
