How do I get started?
Ask yourself the following questions:
Is point of view an issue?
For assignments such as debates or argumentative essays, you may need to find information that presents a particular point of view, opposing points of view, or a range of viewpoints.
Other assignments may not require that you argue a point, but you still should remember that most sources are written from certain points of view, and these points of view can affect whether the source is appropriate for your topic or assignment.
More information on point of view is available in Evaluating Sources.
