WARM-UP ...
No warm-up again. Get back to work on your research - we're in the library today and tomorrow. Target date to finish and turn in your research remains this Friday (we will have at least part of the day on Friday in class to work).
TODAY ...
- Continue using the library database to locate sources - we will meet in the library in A102 tomorrow so that we have access to print information. However all the notetaking can be done online and then later printed to be turned in. **NOTE ... YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO TURN IN A ROUGH DRAFT OR FINAL DRAFT UNTIL YOU HAVE SHOWN ME YOUR NOTETAKING AND SOURCE INFO.
- Finding Sources ... the best avenue for finding sources is going to be through the library database. You can get there by going to the district website (www.sfisd.org) and selecting Santa Fe High School ... then selecting Library ... then selecting either GALE or EBSCO database on the right side of the Library webpage (under LINKS).
- You can also click the following link to make life simpler: SFHS LIBRARY
- If you are logging in from home, you will need the following info:
- For GALE ... Password: learn
- For EBSCO ... Username: santa ... Password: library
- Within the Gale Database, you will find a button for a collection called "OPPOSING VIEWPOINTS IN CONTEXT" ... It's the mostly white button that is 5th down on the right column. Or click the link.
- Use the follwing as a guide for structuring your source and note information SOURCE AND NOTE EXAMPLE
- REMINDER ... RESEARCH PAPER PROPOSALS ARE LATE, BUT ARE STILL A MAJOR GRADE AND MUST BE TURNED IN ASAP!
- If you have a resource that is NOT from the Gale Database, you will need to use:
- Citation Machine (Website)
- Copy and paste the URL of the webpage you are using and let the Citation Machine do the work and produce your Source Citation for you. It may not find ALL fields that it has, so you will need to make a quick check to see if you can add that information in,. If not (if it is not available), proceed without it.
- ALL NON LIBRARY DATABASE RESOURCES NEED TO BE CLEARED WITH ME FIRST!
