EH 102: The 1960s (Halbrooks): Step 5: Reassess Your Information Needs

Why?

Once you have gathered and examined your information, it's time to reassess what you have found, and whether it meets your information needs. Are there other types of information you need to seek out? Is there a particular type of information you are having trouble finding? Remember that you can get help with this from a reference librarian.
