- Books are helpful for getting lots of information about different aspects of a topic, or to get ideas for research. You never have to read a whole academic book -- you can just look at specific chapters or sections!
- Academic journal articles usually go in-depth about one specific topic. They include studies, theoretical articles, book reviews, and other types. They will probably be less useful for your project, but they may dig deep into a specific person, or take a more theoretical look at how different narratives are created.
