AVOIDING INFORMATION OVERLOAD
Formulate questions. What do I need to know? What evidence can I piece together?
Start with broad understanding. Strategize your approach to sources. Likely places to look Primary or secondary? Specificity? Regional, national, or international information?
Be open to where the path leads you.
Ask for help.
