__Instructions:__ The value of a source is that the information can be used for a particular purpose. You have to imagine the purpose that you could use this valuable source to prove. In other words, a source is valuable because you can prove ideas, you can persuade listeners or win arguments, for example.

The difference between reliability and credibility is the following: Reliability means that the source is believable because you have general knowledge from other sources enough that the writer is giving you information you trust to be belieavable. Credibility is more. Credibility means that the source is known to you to be an expert or has the credentials to prove he is an expert about the topic. These sources have more value than sources which have reliability but not as much credibility as an expert.
