Data Centric - today it is more critical to supply data as evidence for proposals and advocacy - opinions, survey information; etc.
Evaluating sources - criteria should reflect:
a. Audience - think of this very carefully when you are preparing this for a client - consider what other information they have already reviewed or found; also may determine what format for your paper/presentation you choose (may want to read some reports prepared by consultants)
b. Authority Control - refers to authorship
c. Purpose
d. Objectivity
e. Currency & Timeliness
f. Coverage & Scope
