A <a href=\"https:\/\/umb.libguides.com\/PrimarySources\/secondary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">primary source<\/a> provides original or firsthand information, such as an interview, survey, government record, photograph, or original research.<\/li>\n<li>Does it include evidence or cite its sources? Keep in mind that a primary source provides original or firsthand information, so it may not cite other sources.<\/li>\n<li>Who published it? Is the website or organization trustworthy?<\/li>\n<li>Why was it created? To inform, persuade, sell, or entertain?<\/li>\n<li>Can you confirm the information with another reliable source?<\/li>\n<li>Does it separate facts from opinions?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When writing down your facts, don\u2019t copy them down word for word, take only the important parts that relate to the claim you are making. If you come across a particularly powerful quote, feel free to include it in your video to help make your argument stronger. However, make sure to credit the author both on screen in your video and in your citations.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure to cite your sources in the appropriate format whether it&#8217;s MLA, APA, etc.\u00a0<\/span>Online citation generators can help you format your citations but always double-check that the information is correct.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope with these research tools under your belt, finding useful information for your video will be easier and less intimidating for you.
