Here are the resources you will use for your Author study.
1. Infocentre: This is where you can search for books available in our library. To access, log in to MS Desktop. Then click on InfoCentre. Searching by Author will give you books BY your author. To find books ABOUT your author or books that may contain a short story or poem by your author, try Keyword.
2. School databases: Open Internet Explorer. Then click on Favorites at the top of the page and then Research Links. Use the following:
*EbscoHost: Literary Reference Center
*EbscoHost: Kids' Search
*Facts on File: Bloom's Literary Reference
*Britannica Online (hint delete the "learningzone" part of the address to access Middle School)
*Kids Search
On Wednesday we'll go over how to search the public library's catalog and use a temporary library card for research. If you have your own card, bring it to school on Wed!
