  1. Distinguish between primary, secondary, and tertiary sources and their uses in design research;
  2. Navigate relevant academic databases, books, and research guides by accessing them through the Pace Libraries website; 
  3. Utilize additional resources from relevant and accessible institutions and organizations to find primary sources, like images, manuscripts, illustrations, newspapers, and film footage.
