Ms. Toussaint’s Class IV English Project


General Tips for Research:
  • Make sure to read the information below each source about what it’s good for and any tips we have.
  • When you are recording a page or article from a database, DO NOT COPY THE URL. You will NOT be able to get back to your page using that URL. Instead, find where the database allows you to copy the citation or permanent link to the page. If you can’t find that, write down the name of the database and the name of the article or page you are using.
  • Remember: not every resource will have information about every topic.  If you run a search and don’t get results don’t give up! Try a different database! Or reach out to a librarian!
  • If you have any questions, please sign up to meet with a librarian!

Library Databases:

What is a database? Databases are collections of sources created by experts on a topic. The library provides these databases for students as places to find reliable, trustworthy sources.

Reference Databases

For this project you will be relying on databases with reference materials. Reference materials are designed to be your first stop in the research process. Reference materials will give you a broad overview or a summary of a specific topic or theme, often including things like definitions, biographies, and chronologies of significant events. They will also give you the most widely accepted version of facts and keywords or terms.  Example of reference sources are encyclopedias, dictionaries, almanacs, and atlases.
