Databases

Hand in your Mike Rowe essays.

Now an example of giving credit where credit is due: Virginia Lee Burton. Who leads us to this story.

We look at the SCC databases. You go to the LRC on The Hub (under Student Services) or click here. Click around on the different collections; the most useful to you will be EBSCOhost and Gale/Cengage. Each one works a little differently, but each inside each one, if you find something useful, find the button that emails it to you. That way you don't have to remember anything about it; it's in your email.

I hand out a worksheet. This must be filled out before this research is done. You may or may not use the sources you list here; this is to practice finding the information.

Then off to the lab to look at possible sources and fill out your worksheet.

Hand in your daybooks.

Homework:

1.  Find sources using the CRAAP test and SCC databases.  Do yesterday's homework and today's handout in order to practice thinking about your sources.  As you do this, identify sources and information to put in your paper.

2.  TWFTD:  attribution in OED.
