Research Resources- Sobieski, 5/24, 5/25, 5/27

Hi Ms. Sobieski's classes! Here's where you will find some resources to help you with your research. Good luck! 

For this project, you are to use: books found in our library (use Infocentre to find materials on your topic), databases (Ebsco Student Research Center and Facts on File), and websites. You may start with the websites listed below. DO NOT USE: Wikipedia, Yahoo Answers, WikiAnswers, Buzzle.com.

To access the databases: Go to Start, Teacher/Student Share/Research Links and then either Ebsco or Facts on File.

Here are some online places to search for information. (Because everyone has a different topic, many of these sites are broad). The first two, are places to search (GREAT alternatives to Google).
