We have some books and other resources on your projects ON RESERVE; you can also do a keyword and subject search for your topic, and put it in quotation marks (e.g. "building boats", "building bridges," or simply "bridge")  As well, you should look at our online resources, including SIRS Researcher, Britannica and Worldbook for answers to your report questions.

Finally, if you do your own search, you should use Yahoo! first, as it lists topics much more completely and accurately than if you use an open search engine like Google.

I've included below some pages below to help you get started.

As always, if you need any help, please see me.
