What is a primary source? What makes it different from a secondary source? How do I know when I’ve found one, and where should I look for them? Answers to all… or, most… okay, at least some of your questions about primary and secondary sources can be found in our new video!

The Middlebury Librarians have added a new video tutorial to our growing collection. Intended to be a resource for in-class instruction and a helpful refresher for students when a librarian isn’t available, Primary and Secondary Sources covers the most important things to know about how these kinds of sources can help students build their knowledge through research.

Watch Primary and Secondary Sources here!
