  1. Intro to Databases @ Ridge He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors. Thomas Jefferson

  2. A Tour of Online Resources

  3. Visit the MRHS webpage and select the “For Students” tab. Next select “Library/Media Center.” On the side menu, choose “Library Resources”

  4. We are looking at EBSCO Host today as a class. However, there are lots of good sites on the resources page.

  5. You can access this site from home – no need to be on the school network. The username is on the library resource page in case you forget! For a quick reminder write it in your notes: Username: mrhs Password: mountainlions

  6. EBSCOHost provides access to several different databases with thousands (yes, thousands) of articles available for you to review and use as research. You will narrow your search to specific databases to maximize your search efforts.

  7. You will want to choose the databases that are closely related to your topic. I suggest selecting the following databases as an initial search: ERIC Humanities International Complete Literary Reference Center Primary Search TOPIC Search Master File Premier Academic Search Premier

  8. Once you have selected your databases you will be directed to this search bar – similar to Google and Bing!. You need to select ‘Advance Search.’ Why? Because you want to set parameters and narrow your search to the best results possible.

  9. Type in your search topic – remember, you don’t just want to search for your topic word for word. Select ‘peer-reviewed’ Select ‘date published’ – You want sources published within the last 10 years.

  10. Research Reminders… • You need at least three credible sources • One of your resources must be peer-reviewed • Google and Bing (and sites like those) are a great starting point – they won’t give you the solid academic, peer-reviewed sources you need • Don’t simply type in your topic – you need to use key phrases and such to narrow the search to the best sources. • Don’t wait until the last moment. You have a 2/10/14 deadline for your works cited page. Get started now!

  11. Quoting and Paraphrasing

  12. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS: How is the Georgian Era like our own in terms of it social mores, especially as these apply to love and marriage, sexuality, gender roles, and social class and economic disparities? Step 1: Identify 5 direct quotes that you would use in a microtheme where the prompt was the same as the essential question listed above. Step 2: Write a creative lead in for each quote and include the citation for the quote. Step 3: You also need to write two paraphrases for this article. Your paraphrases are NOT summaries of the article – they are taking longer chunks of information from the text and putting them in your own words. Include the correct citation for your paraphrase and each paraphrase should be 3-4 sentences in length.
