BOOKS
Books can be popular, scholarly, general interest, or sensational too. Books can be tricky, though, because they don't always make it clear if they're scholarly or not.
So think "APPLE".
Author - is the author an expert in his/her field?
Purpose - what kind of information is the book trying to convey?
Publisher - who made the book available? (Quick tip: university press titles are scholarly!)
Language - how sophisticated is the language used in the text?
Evidence - what sources does the author use to draw conclusions?
(This is just a brief list - for more on distinguishing a popular book from a scholarly book, go HERE!)
