- 24/7 BOCES Resource Library This link accesses all the databases to which Lakeland High School subscribes. Remember that if the blue & white rectangle comes up asking for a username and passwords it is... s. Then you can easily go down the alphabetical list of sources and pick the ones most useful for you. You can stop by the Media Center for passwords or you can find them in the google classroom under classwork. Remember, databases work best when applying search strings using Boolean Logic.
Come ask for recommendations.
Swank Video Streaming service, For teachers to assign or stream videos for student viewing.
Students, please join the LHS Library Google classroom. There you will find general library information, Database use information and tutorials, as well as MLA 9 citation guides and information literacy tutorials.
If you have any trouble accessing or using any resources, please email the librarian. Mrs. Browne can help you with your MLA 9th Edition citations and with completing your Works Cited page. Share your google doc with editing permission as needed.
We suggest that you do not use either Gale Newsstand or the National Newspaper Index on 24/7 as these will only give you abstracts - not full text articles.
- The most useful databases depend on what you are looking for. If, for example, you are doing current events or issues, try: Ultra Online Package, Proquest, Research in Context, Issues & Controversies, Opposing Viewpoints, or Academic One.
- If you are looking for classroom-related sites, go to the library pages on the left in the green pull-down menu.
- Career information can be found on the e-book link to the left or the databases on the 24/7 portal-Ferguson's Career Guidance and Vocations and Careers Gale Onefile.
- Literary criticism can be found at Magill's, the e-book link to the left or, of course, in the many physical books in the actual library.
DID YOU KNOW?
You need to click on "Cite" or "Citation Tools" - icons within an article - and choose the MLA 9th Edition format to see exactly how your citation should look. Copy the citation into a document. Then you can organize the list for your "Works Cited" page later.
For articles found on the web, you need to find out who wrote it, what organization/person "published" it, what date it was uploaded or updated, the title of the page or article on the page and the URL.
