Information for this section should come from a reputable source. The World Factbook (maintained by the CIA) is a good place to start. Another government site, U.S. Department of State’s country information , also links to embassies. The use of government-maintained websites adds to the credibility of the information presented. Supplement the government research with articles from the library’s full-text databases. Steer away from reference books like encyclopedias or dictionaries and focus on information from periodicals. Do not copy and paste tables from sources.
