I've been a successful research coach for 8+ years and I've interpreted the "types" of sources as being books versus magazines or journals or experts or Internet article or newspapers etc.

So, all experts are considered only one type of source. Sure ok to interview different experts. Use the animal expert to gain knowledge and present your solution the technology expert and get feedback.

Hi,
  My team is wondering if they can count this as two types of 'sources' of information:

#1: Interviewed an expert on the animal that they selected
#2: Interviewed an expert on the technology that they plan to bring to bear

Technically both sources are 'experts', but they are experts in different areas of the research (problem vs solution).

Any advice would be welcome

Thanks,
Frank Levine
