Library books

Books that may be of help to you have been placed on a small cart.  Please photocopy any of the articles that you find in these books.  There are some very good essays about dystopias which will help fulfill that source requirement.

Gale Literature Resource Center

Your VERY best bet for locating biographies and book reviews and critical essays.   You can also do a Subject search on Dystopias.  There's an interesting article called "What makes a good YA dystopian novel?" under the Reviews and News tab. 

Other Literary Resources

Google scholar

You can always try to locate additional academic articles using Google scholar.  However, you are often directed to subscription only databases like our Literature Resource Center, which you can't access without $, or to ebooks that you can buy.

MLA @ KHS

Don't forget, the library has several copies of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 7th Ed.  If you can't find an example of a source in our KHS handout, check the complete handbook for help.  Even better, ask your teacher or Ms. Teixeira for assistance.
