Dear Students,

The following information will be helpful to you in doing the research for this project. If you find additional helpful information, please post a comment and share your information with other students.

The Destiny Quest link above will take you to our library catalog. Once you are in the catalog, go to the bottom of the "Resource Lists" for the lists of books for this project. The list "World War II Project" includes information on books with both war information and national news topics, while the other lists include books that I know have information on a specific year for the war news articles. You can also get more information about a book and see whether the book is available by selecting the title.
If you are looking for a specific topic, search the following term, "World War, 1939-1945," where it says "Find." If you "Narrow Your Search" by subject , you can page through all the subjects until you find what you want and get a list of books only on that specific topic such as "Berlin, Battle of" or "Holocaust." A book may have information on a subject but not be listed under that subject.
