All of these sources have differing variables of reliability and add different amounts of strength to the argument because of their credibility. The benefits of using online sources are that they are easily accessible, don’t take up space in your book sack, and they are the most recent information on the topic; however, sometimes an unchanging book might be more stable in providing reliable information just because it was approved and published. Therefore, it is important to use both types of sources to give strong evidence to the paper.
Examples of some of my sources along with a review of each:
