What's My Source?
Original Sources
Using original sources means you are looking at the web site, the article, the book, the video, etc. and so have access to all of the original information you need. Often you will end up with a combination of both a citation and an original to look at. The purpose of this site is to try and help you sort out the variety of things you might be looking at and help you try and identify them accurately so you can use Noodletools or another citation builder to accurately cite them for a class.
Media Matters
The same resource viewed in a different medium is cited differently. So the very first question is fundamental. What medium is your source?
Audio-Visual (online or not) -- this includes not only things like DVDs and podcasts, but also lectures, maps, sculpture and other artworks, performances, television and radio programs -- almost anything for which a written text is not the primary medium.
