Guest instruction was provided by our Rock-Star Librarian Ms. Battle. She showed students strategies for doing Efficient; Effective; and Ethical research using online databases.

He key points included "go to" resources

First
OSLIS.org
Students were reminded of the school user name Port and the password.

OSLIS provides access to databases as well as the MLA Citation maker.

Ms. Battle recommended the "Opposing Viewpoints" data base and "InfoTrak" as good places to start (don't forget to click on the "full text" box".

Through Multnomah County Library's web page Ms. Battle recommended "Academic Search Premeir" and JSTOR.

She also showed how you can access a reference librarian through the Multnomah Co library website 24 hours a day!


After the research lesson, students worked with group members to prepare a report on the homework reading.

All students were reminded to bring 50 blank (lined) note cards to class on Thursday.

A week from Thursday class will be held in the Grant library in order to do research.
