How do you find good information at a library?

Im going to a reference library today to look for information. But i have no idea where to begin. I'm writing a essay about how NAFTA benefitted Canada and need 1 primary source, and 4 secondary sources. All of which must be books. Problem is, i dont know how to find good information at a library. I know of the deuy decimal system, but apart from that i have no idea where im going to look once i arrive at the library.How do you find good information at a library?Seriously...?



Here you are on the Internet referencing how to do reference work.



Do they even make libraries anymore? Your teacher requires you to have BOOKS as sources? You can get books online.



It's just that my first thought is that a teacher required a group of kids to take part of the holiday weekend, and go to a library, and that's ridiculous. Nevermind the time involved and that's it's a holiday weekend where your teacher is likely messing with every family and their plans. It's a waste of time and energy - it's not green. First, books aren't green - Kindle and save a tree. Second, let's talk about how much gasoline was used by every family tied to your class for this project. Thirdly, we have the Internet and most people have home access - and this was done for an efficient reason - access to information without having to go out, say to a library.



Your teacher should be reviewed by her superior. First thing the boss should ask is "What are you thinking? People have lives, and this is 2011."
