Research Guidelines

Use the databases (including Gale E-Books) and websites below to find primary and secondary sources about your topic. Keep track of alternate search terms (names, laws/acts, etc.) which might be useful in your search.
Use NoodleTools to create an annotated bibliography (in Chicago style) which you will submit to your teacher. In your annotation, explain why each source is acceptable for scholarly use and, in the case of primary sources, briefly describe the context of the source.
