Media, such as documentaries, fact-based educational programs, or news broadcasts, can be valuable resources. Fiction based media such as feature films are generally not recommended in a research project.
Documentaries and/or educational programs often contain well-researched information and are likely to be thoroughly reviewed prior to publication. They will often include interviews or insights of people working in a field, and will also include good background and in-depth examinations.
News broadcasts typically contain verified or well-sourced current information, although it is important to remember that our understanding will evolve as current stories unfold.
Due to a longer publication process, documentaries and educational programs will not usually be good sources for very current information.
It is a good idea to use media in conjunction with other resources to get both an in-depth look at your research topic as well as current developments in the field.
Nicolet College Library offers a large selection of DVDs, CDs and Great Courses. Research or recreation, we can help you find media for that!
Media may be found in a number of locations in the library. These locations include Media - Video and Media - CD. Each location has its own loan periods. Click here for more information about shelving locations.
