<i>In addition to the web sites, we have many books that will help with this
assignment. Some can be checked out, and others
need to be used in the library. Be sure to bring money to make photocopies.
<p>At the Fremont Main Library, our printed Decade List gives titles of books
decade by decade, and by subject within each
decade. For example, it lists books on music of the '50s. Ask for this list at the
upstairs Reference Desk, and for any other
help you need. </i>
