3. Develop a Working Bibliography
Easybib,com is an easy way to develop a working bibliography. You could also create your own working bibliography in a word document or by writing it on a sheet of paper. However, you will have to create a works cited page later, so you might as well use this site now! Whatever you choose, make sure you are following proper MLA format!
4. Take Notes on Major Points From Your Outline
- You will need at least 30 facts
- Each source's list of facts should be on a separate sheet of paper
- You must have at least 5 facts from each source

Don't forget - Encyclopedias are a great print resource too!
If you still can't find what you need, you can search an online database for articles. (Because they were once printed instead of digital, they count as print resources!)
