If we needed answers for our projects or assignments, our go-to is always Google, and sometimes we seek response in Wikipedia, Online Encyclopedia, and other websites. We also download specific applications in our phone, tablet, or laptop that may help us in getting specific data. But the most reliable source of information are published books which we can purchase in bookstores.

And I also make sure that my sources of information are reliable and efficient, like books and published journals or newspapers.

How do people find information that matches my needs? All we need is what we want, but not all we want is what we need. If we are in need of something, surely you are going to ask people to inform you so you can gain information and be aware. How? They will give the information from the reliable source related on your needs. For example, me as a student needs information about educational things because that is what we needed. The people I will approach to get information is the Teacher, because they are our educators who has more information and knowledge than us students. All the information they give are also from the people who also educates them and so on.
