UNDERSTAND
Topic Title: Accessibility and Effectiveness of Sources of Information.

ᐅ When is a material or information accessible and effective?

If the material or information is easy to obtain or access, whether printed or online, it is
accessible. If the material provides you comprehensive and sufficient information you need for your
research or study, whether general or specific, it is useful.
Let us define the terms ‘accessibility' and 'effectiveness' for a broader and more in-depth
understanding of the topic.
Accessibility - refers to the quality of being available when needed. It also refers to the quality or
characteristic of something that makes it possible to approach, enter, reach, obtain,
or use it.
Effectiveness - means the ability to be successful and produce the intended results. It also means
the power to be effective by its effect and usefulness.

ᐅ What are the types of sources of information?

There are two types of sources of information. They are primary and secondary.
1. Primary Source – A primary document is a written or created document at the time of
occurrence of an event or period of research. It is usually the first formal appearance of the
product of original thinking or result of discoveries or events. A recording of a live news-feed
or video or its transcript is a primary source of information.
2. Secondary Source – A secondary document is written after an event. The authors usually did
not witness the events or discoveries themselves. An analysis or a restatement of primary
sources is a secondary document. Also, documents written with reference to primary
documents and attempt to provide an interpretation are secondary documents.

1. An internet article about "It's more fun in the Philippines."

There are 7,107 islands that make up the Philippines, and they're divided into three
regions- Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Some islands have become bustling cosmopolitan
cities, such as the capital Manila, the Cities of Cebu, and Davao. Others are more remote and
tropical, which offers something for every traveler. Wherever you go, you won't ever be more
than two hours away from one of its gorgeous beaches. The little group of islands makes for one
gigantic stretch of coastline---more than 15,500 kilometers!

Key Points

The material or information is accessible if it is easy to obtain or access, whether printed or

online. The material is effective if it provides comprehensive and sufficient information needed for
research or study, whether general or specific.
A primary document is a document that was written or created at the time of occurrence of
an event or period of research. It is usually the first formal appearance or the product of original
thinking or the result of discoveries or events.

Examples: diaries, correspondence, ships' logs, original documents, birth certificates, trial transcripts,
biographies, autobiographies, manuscripts, etc.
A secondary document is written after an event. The authors usually did not witness the
events or discoveries themselves. An analysis or a restatement of primary sources is a secondary
document. Also, documents that are written with reference to primary documents and attempt to
provide an interpretation are secondary documents.
Examples: journal articles that comment on or analyze research, textbooks, dictionaries and
encyclopedias, books that interpret and analyze, political commentary, etc.
