Using eLibrary - due January 23

Over this quarter, you have experimented with several different tools that will help you with your upcoming research projects. You have set up a Noodle Tools account and learned how to make Bib cards and annotate, as well as share your project with a teacher. You have used the OPAC to create a resource list of print and web resources on a topic. You have evaluated a website based on a number of important criteria. You have used specialized encyclopedias, and some of you have used Gale Reference Library, an online database of specialized encyclopedias. As a bonus, you have gotten to be among the first at Marshall to use the Kindle e-reader device. As you have done these things, you have also maintained the library collection and served our patrons. Good job!

In our last few weeks of the quarter, we will explore eLibrary and Proquest, two very powerful databases for research. On both of these, you will be able to search for newspaper and magazine articles as well as websites, books, images, and other documents. eLibrary and Proquest are similar, but each has its unique features.

Log in to eLibrary using the username wa019remote and password remote001. Set up a my eLibrary account using your usual username and password. Conduct a search on your topic. Create a resource list with at least four different types of resources.
