Information: Data presented in readily comprehensible form to which meaning has been attributed within the context of its use. In a more dynamic sense, the message conveyed by the use of a medium of communication or expression. Whether a specific message is informative or not depends in part on the subjective perception of the person receiving it. An others, we can say information more concretely, all the facts, conclusions, ideas, and creative works of the human intellect and imagination that have been communicated, formally or informally, in any form.

Sources/Resources:Any document that provides information sought by a writer, researcher, library user, or person searching an online catalog or bibliographic database. Also refers to a document that provides information copied or reproduced in another document, for example, a quotation or excerpt. In literature, the story, legend, or work that inspires or provides elements of plot or characterization for another literary work, for example, the chronicles of English history on which William Shakespeare based some of his history plays. The meaning of library resources is not only for the sources of information stored in the library but for all library materials,functions and services.

Types of information sources

Documentary and Non-Documentry

Documetry Sources- Printed forms of document called documentary sources of information.These sources are mainly printed sources but due to advances in ICT,many of them are now available CD/DVD,e-forms too.Dictionaries,Encyclopadias,Directories,year books,biographical sources,geogaraphical sources,etc are the example of documentary sources of Information.

Non-Documentry sources- There are others sources of information besides the traditional documentary sources known as documentary sources of information i.e. Human sources, Institutional sources, mass media and Audio-Visuals.

Grogan has classified only documentary information sources into 3 categories; primary sources, secondary sources, and tertiary sources of information

This topic is very broad; I think you can understand what sources/resources of information are?
