Library tutorial for wine marketing

Have you found relevant information for your particular assignment or topic of research?

• Have you found peer-reviewed articles, if these have been specified by your lecturer? Peer reviewed means that articles are checked by experts who verify the quality of the research before a publisher will include an article in their journal.
• Are there limits you wish to set, e.g. do you need only Australian information or do you want to extend your search to other countries?
• What other aspects should you be thinking about that are relevant to your topic as suggested by your lecturer, e.g. market conditions, global wine market environment?
• What are the dates of the information you find? Do you need more recent information or historical information? Is the topic well developed with extensive literature?

Have you analysed the quality of the information?

When using any item (book, journal article, document on the Web, a website) for an assignment or study, you need to evaluate its quality, which includes:

• Accuracy
• Authority
  
• Objectivity
• Currency
• Coverage
