Print Sources
Though not required, books that are in print are often scholarly sources (remember you need 2 of these), and they often provide much more specific, detailed information than websites
http://www.waukeganpl.org/ --Website of the Waukegan Public Library (a great place to look for print resources)
**Also, do your own research. Use search engines, the library, and other sources to find your own information. One of the goals of this assignment is to practice research skills and learn to be independent in doing research. This is a VITAL college skill**
