Data Sources

When gathering Information you will need to get your facts right.

As you gather the information you need, make sure you save it using a logical storage system and sensible file names so that you can find what you need easily.
Create a sources table to record details of each source of data and image. Here is an example of a Sources Table.doc . (rtf). You will need to return to the table from time to time to keep it up to date.


Do you already have information you can use? For example, you may be able to re-use photos or data from other work.


These websites allow you to use some or all of the images on the site. Make sure that you have permission to use and edit information from secondary sources. This includes copyright-free images from websites such as these:

http://www.clipart-graphics.net/

http://www.freeimages.co.uk/

http://www.morguefile.com/


You must read the terms and conditions to make sure you are using them correctly.

Producing original information. You will need to use a range of primary sources. For example, you could take photographs, produce drawings, make sound recordings. Creating information yourself takes time, so allow plenty of time for editing.
Save your completed sources table for your eportfolio.
