Part 1. How Will I Choose and Narrow a Topic?
Part 2. Finding Information About Your Topic
Print Sources
Option 1
- You can find what book you need by searching our catalog. (Do both a subject and keyword search for your topic) Let Mrs. Smith (Csmith@mtlsd.net) know what title you need and we will make arrangements for you to come and pick up the print title.
- If you would like a digital copy of your title let Mrs. Smith know. If it is available in that format, I will purchase it for you and show you how to download it to your computer or other device. You will access it through Sora, our eBook platform. (Your account is already set up for this.)
