It doesn't matter if you can find a quality source if you aren't able to identify whether that source fits your information needs. By interpreting your assignment and taking a step back to think about your needs, you will be able to evaluate what you have found to determine its relevance to your needs. If it doesn't fit with your topic, provide you with information to support your writing, or match the assignment requirements, you should not waste your time with it.
