Library Databases

I hand out the final long paper's assignment sheet.

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 and perhaps Opposing Viewpoints.Each one works a little differently, but 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. You do NOT have to fill out all the blanks; they don't all apply to every source.

Explore the databases and fill out your worksheet.

Homework:

1. Find three sources through databases and record them on this worksheet. These may or may not be used in your paper. The worksheet will be part of the NEXT daybook check.

2. TWFTD: paraphrase in OED.
