Some research paper resources

                Grolier – subscription databases available only within SBS building.  The website is www.go.grolier.com.  Userid is stbernard, Password is dogs.  Grolier provides a number of research databases.   For more information, see Sue Thomson.

                Iconn.org – databases available anywhere in Connecticut (or outside of Connecticut with a library card from a public library in Connecticut).  Databases include New York Times and a number of other national newspapers, professional and popular journal articles, historical issues of newspapers, and other subject area reference materials.  For more information go to www.iconn.org, or see: http://franblo.edublogs.org/2008/07/03/using-great-internet-research-tool-iconn/.

                Why not Wikipedia?  Did you know that anybody – anybody – can make changes to Wikipedia pages?   Enough said.

                The SBS Style Manual is on Fred Smith’s and Art Lamoureux’s Edline pages.  (Login to Edline, then click on Classes, over on the upper right.  Scroll through until you see a class one of them teaches and click on the class title.  The Style Manual is among the documents at the right.) 

                An internet source that provides citations for bibliography/works cited in MLA format,  virtually identical to our Style Manual format, is www.citationmachine.net.  You select the type of resource (book, webpage, database accessed through a library, etc.) then fill in the blanks provided; the program generates the appropriate citation.   For further information, see http://franblo.edublogs.org/tag/citation-bibliography/.
