 * If you don't know what topic you want to choose, click on "Browse Topics" on the top toolbar, or look at topics within categories underneath the picture at the top of the screen.
 * If you know what topic you want to explore, type your topic in the search box (using only a couple of key words and using quotation marks around words that you want to keep together), and click on "Viewpoints" or "Featured Viewpoints" in the column of links on the left.
 * Read through the essay(s) carefully to see if there's anything in there that would help you with this project.
 * There are other categories that may also have good information: Primary Sources, News, Academic Journals, Reference, Magazines, and Related Topics.
 * Click on the titles of any articles that sounds most relevant and read through them.
 * To find the citation for the articles, click on "Citation Tools" on the right side of your page under the heading "Tools." The citation will pop up and it should be in MLA format. Click on the EasyBib button on the right under "Export." If you are logged into EasyBib with your project open, the citation will show up in your list of sources.

 * **Points of View Reference Center**
 * If you have no idea about what topic you should choose, scroll through the "In the News" section or the "Browse by Category" section and check out all of the topics within each category.
 * If you know what topic you want to explore, limit your search terms to just a few key words (example: use "self-harm" instead of "people who cut themselves"). A database search box is different from using Google or other search engines. Use quotation marks around any words that you want to keep together.
 * This database automatically sorts the results by relevance.
 * To find the citation for the articles, click on the yellow icon labeled "Cite" on the right side of the article. Scroll down until you find the MLA format. Click on the "Export" icon and choose "Direct Export to EasyBib." If you are logged into EasyBib with your project open, the citation will show up in your list of sources.
