When it comes time to format your annotated bibliography or works cited pages, please follow the directions on THIS PAGE.

Books- Yes, Books! 

Picture
BOOK CATALOG- click to find books on your topic.  Remember, when doing a research project you do not need to read the entire book in order to use it as a source.  You only need to find applicable information for your topic. 

Databases

Below is a list of databases that may be helpful in your research.   They all have the citations done for you- just make sure you select MLA formatting.

 Congressional Quarterly provide in-depth looks at social topics.  Includes chronology, pro/con section as well as looking ahead.  
A great all purpose database.  Click on "Explora." If you would like to save the article, make sure to select the PERMALINK.  
This is an ABC-Clio Database.  You can get your MLA citations here, but it does not provide a permalink to it!  If you want to save the article you will need to email it to yourself or print it.

OPPOSING VIEWPOINTS- Great database for primary sources and more.  
Picture
Points of View- EBSCO resource.  You'll need to save/site information the same way as regular EBSCO.  This database focuses more on current issues than the regular EBSCO.

Reference E-Books- just like a book, but with the bonus "E"

SIRS is also a pro/con database sponsored by ProQuest.  There are a lot of viewpoint articles here- check it out!
