Defining Valid, Reliable, and Accurate- Hope Garrison

Valid: Something that is reliable to what you are researching on.
Reliable: Something you are confident in if you need to use it.
Accurate: When some is correct for example when you find one fact and keep on finding the same fact on more then one website it most likely means it's accurate.

One source I am using is a book. Good things about a book is the author get's facts out of studies or things that are known to be true. The only down fall from books maybe that they are out dated for example the book I am using was written in 1982, so some of the information may be out dated.
