	If you prefer the reply to be sent to you via email, you must have a valid email account; be sure to include your email address in that case.

To complete your question, you need to include the following information:

	If this is a report, how long is your report supposed to be?
	How many, and what types, of sources do you need? (For example, types of sources include encyclopedias, magazine articles, books, videos, Internet websites or other Internet sources.)
	What grade are you in? (This information allows us to gather information that would suit your level of understanding.)

WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION?
Be as specific as possible.

	Good Example: I need information on the art of the Navajo Native American tribe for a 3-page report. I am in the fifth grade. I need three different sources, and only one source can be an encyclopedia. My teacher says I need one book and one magazine article.
	Bad Example: I need stuff on Indians.
