Information sources that have been written by academics, experts or creative practitioners in a particular field or discipline, and published in books, conference publications and academic journal articles, can usually be considered scholarly.
They may report on original research, review books and exhibitions, address current issues facing the contemporary industries of performance design, film and fashion, or examine events through the lenses of history and theory. They are your best source of information about practice, industry and design, as well as issues pertaining to sustainability, gender, race, politics and cultural heritage within your field of study.
