Finding Good Sources For Research

After reading the chapter on what it takes to find good research I feel like I have been researching wrong my whole life. I usually go onto google, find a couple of sources that fit with my topic, and quote a couple of good ideas from the sources. I guess this could be called a "lazy researcher." However, I have always tried to find credible sources. I don't easily trust the author or the website. I like to make sure that the information I am using is reliable and not "fake." When I start doing more research for my project I will look for more peer-reviewed articles instead of just credible articles I find on the internet. I am wondering if I should focus more of my research at the library or on my laptop. I believe both places can be a wonderful place to find tons of research for my topic. I should probably use both places when I do my research and decide which sources are the best, and not care too much about where they came from. The third "place" to gather research is from a person by interview or survey. I can use my past observations as a research tool but I guess that relates more to known knowledge. I will try to work on finding a person as a source for research.
