2.
Subjective vs. Objective
2. Subjective vs. Objective- Subjective kinds of information are those that come from the opinion
of experts in a given field. Meanwhile, objective information are those that are unbiased.
Scientific papers and news reports are examples of this.
3. Current vs. Historical- The currency of information refers to how up-to-date or how recent the
information is. Publication date of the source material is the usual basis for currency. It does
not necessarily follow that the more current the information, the more reliable and useful it is.
There are information that are historical or old but are very helpful in providing insights and
comparison of events.
4. Scholarly (Academic/Professional/Technical) vs. Popular
Scholarly information comes from academic sources. It is a product of an author’s expertise
and study on the subject matter. Popular information, on the other hand, appeals to general
interest and is usually found in general circulation materials
5. Primary vs. Secondary vs. Tertiary- this category is based on origin and the levels of transfer
of the information.
6. Stability becomes a consideration especially when the information you have obtained is
published digitally over the Internet. It is often difficult to know how long a certain Web site or
page will last.
