How to Cite Books and Websites & Reliable Resources for Research 

 Recommended Reliable Sources for Research

1.    http://www.ipl.org/  Search your person of study (most helpful for historic figures and not more modern celebrities)

2.    http://www.FactMonster.com/people.html Search for your person of study by the search box, or look them up by last name. Select “encyclopedia” when the search is done, and record the article information on your research page.

3.    http://www.biography.com/ Find information on nearly every infamous person in history. Includes photos and video clips as well.

4.    http://www.notablebiographies.com/ The encyclopedia of world biographies
