In general, there are three types of resources or sources of information: primary,

secondary, and tertiary.  It is important to understand these types and to know what type
is appropriate for your coursework prior to searching for information.

1. Primary sources are original materials on which other research is based, including:

o original written works – poems, diaries, court records, interviews, surveys, and
original research/fieldwork, and
o research published in scholarly/academic journals.

2. Secondary sources are those that describe or analyze primary sources, including:

o reference materials – dictionaries, encyclopedias, textbooks, and
o books and articles that interpret, review, or synthesize original
research/fieldwork.

3. Tertiary sources are those used to organize and locate secondary and primary
sources.
o Indexes – provide citations that fully identify a work with information such as
author, titles of a book, artile, and/or journal, publisher and publication date,
volume and issue number and page numbers.
o Abstracts – summarize the primary or secondary sources,
o Databases – are online indexes that usually include abstracts for each primary
or secondary resource, and may also include a digital copy of the resource.

Types of TEXTS
A text is a piece of writing that you read or create.

The type or the characteristics of a text are very important for any work of summarisation on it. It
is easier to select the main ideas from certain types of texts, as the narrative ones (texts “telling
a story”) then from others, such as expository texts (texts “speaking about”).

The type of a texts depend on their purpose, structure and language features.

One of the most commonly used classification text materials is that one based on text’s purpose
and meaning. In this classification, there are three main categories:

1. Expository texts
2. Narrative texts, and
3. Argumentative texts.
