Bibliography card

         We have been learning about the proper ways to research and find sources through questions made to help us find certain information that we believe will help us in our research question/topic. My question in the previous post was... Given the fact that Haiti has experienced numerous Earthquakes in the past, why weren't all or at least most of their structures earthquake-proof? I would like to make a few adjustments to that question since I found I few things that pointed at disasters in general. Haiti's overall infrastructure lacks the strength to withstand most of the natural disasters with which it has been faced with and with which it is currently and predicted to face.
The following information is what would go in my bibliography card for my sources....


Primary- Newspaper Article
Delva, Joseph Guyler. "Collapse 'was like an earthquake'; Haitian school. At least 50 dead; many still trapped." The Gazette (Montreal) sec. News. (November 8, 2008), 19
ProQuest Advanced Search
Keywords:
Haiti AND earthquakes. Destruction OR destroyed. Before Jan. 1, 2010.
(this source helps me with information of what the consequences of not having a standardized building/construction code has been).

ProQuest Advanced Search (or Scholarly Journals- Columbia Publications)
Keywords:
Haiti AND earthquakes. Standardized building. Before Jan. 1, 2010.
(This source helps me with information that demonstrates why standardized building/contruction would be useful to do in Haiti).


Primary- Newspaper
"EARTHQUAKES IS HAITI.: Houses Destroyed and Damaged at Gonaives, but No Loss of Life." Washington Post (Jan 16, 1908), 2 
ProQuest Advanced Search (or Historical Newpapers- Washinton Post)
