Sources can come in many formats.  The Internet holds many resources such as blogs, vlogs, wiki’s, RSS feeds, videos, audio files, photos, tweets, Facebook Pages, and many other types.  These can be a wealth of information for your research provided they are properly documented.

These sources are generally not considered scholarly or peer reviewed.

 

These sources will vary in reputation so make sure to evaluate your sources and contact your instructor to make sure they fit their standard.
