Research Readiness from your librarians

When doing research use the library databases available from your library website

If your search term is Olympics, a database results in 2,677 items

If your search term is Olympics, Google results in 160,000,000 items

Library DatabasesThe Internet Paid for by the library so you have free access to scholarly information. Some resources are free, but others require you to pay for them. Content is evaluated for authority and accuracy. Information is not evaluated for accuracy and may be incorrect, misleading, or biased. Anyone can publish a Google site. Information is stable.Websites come and go. Through Subject Pages find databases relating specifically to your topic (and get connected to an expert if you need guidance). The internet is a vast sea of information with no organization. Library databases offer options to quickly limit or expand your search to find the articles you need. A search engine (like Google) often returns an overwhelming number of results with no quick way to narrow them down or ensure they relate to your topic.

Students! Think one day out from school isn’t a big deal? If you miss 10 percent of school days, you’ll suffer academically. That can be just one day every two weeks, and can it happen before you know it. These absences may be either excused or unexcused, but you’re still losing time in class and opportunities to learn. Every day you’re absent, it lowers your chance of graduating from high school. Remember. Attendance Counts Every Day, Everyone

September is Attendance Awareness Month A student who is chronically absent in high school is 7.4X more likely to drop out! Attendance counts. EVERYONE. EVERYDAY.
