Places to look
library.mcsdga.net - Select Reese Road from the list and search our school
library catalog. We have several reference books that might be useful for this
assignment and biographies on some of the people on the list can be checked out.
If you are using the Internet, the first recommended place to look is
www.encyclopedia.com or
www.biography.com. This will help make
your research more efficient. You can use a great search engine like
www.metacrawler.com,
www.google.com, or go to Yahooligans.com and
type in your person's name. Be sure to spell it right!
