How do I find sources?
• Follow recommendations by your teachers and librarian
• You will have to have 1 print source and 2 Internet sources

Print Sources
• Look in the library catalog (Mrs. Roe has done this for you)
• If there are not books devoted to your topic, look in the indexes of books on the cart
• If still nothing, check the encylopedia or a biographical dictionary

There’s Nothing!
• If you can’t find anything, check with your teacher. Mrs. Roe let him or her know if there are no print resources available

Internet sources - Why does it Matter
what I use?• Anyone can put
whatever they want on the Internet
• You want reliable information – FACTS!

What should I NOT use?
• Wikis – These allow people other than the author to edit the site.
• That’s right no Wikipedia or Answers.com. These are fine for quick needed answers but not for true research.

What should I use?
• Use reliable search engines that have evaluated websites as their results– Sweetsearch – Internet Public Library – RefSeek– Webpath Express
• Check the library’s website!• Use Google as a last resort
