Watch your work grow On the Dashboard, students can review their own 30-day logs. The logs have been enhanced to clearly show when items in the project are added or deleted, plus it gives the total number of citations and notecards to that point in time. We will continue to add self-assessment features so that students gain a sense of ownership and responsibility for their work.

Search WorldCat’s library catalog for your book Admin can turn this off. Search by ISBN, Title or Author Additional search options like publication date.

Cover, authors, publication information - verify it is the right source. Import selected source. Identify your book

Review and edit the elements (We’ve done some checking already!)

Save to your list

No more “refinding” problems! Save (and mark up) your own copy of a Web source. Exclusive partnership with iCyte to provide a way for students to permanently archive and annotate Web pages and PDFs that they use, so that they have a snapshot of the source from the time they actually cited or took notes on it. Teachers can also view this archived version when the project is shared. Useful for things like Wikis, Web pages, blogs, tweets Requires a bookmarklet to be added to the browser’s toolbar.

Questions we’ve been asked… How can I tell if this is common knowledge? Is a PDF cited like a book? What if I don’t have the page number because I returned the book? Is the Christian Science Monitor a newspaper or a magazine? How do I cite a web page in a database? What do I put in an annotation?
