Step 2 - Gathering Resources

Step number two is to gather resources related to your topic. If you do not have a library card from the Marlborough Public Library, you are required to obtain one on your own A.S.A.P. You must gather 3 resources, one from the Marlborough Public Library, C/W Mars Libraries, or Marlborough High School Library; one from an Online Database; and one web-based article. Use Micrsoft Word to create a Works Cited page for your selected resources.
