MAKING DATABASES EVEN EASIER!
You can now log in to your Google Docs account with the click of a button to import articles from Gale databases! Watch the short video below to see how.
One note of caution: articles will NOT be saved in Gale’s My Folder section for future sessions. You MUST download the articles to Google Drive in order to access them (and the highlighting and notes you took) in the future.
CRAAP! Students are using horrible web sources...
CRAAP resources for teachers

Research guides are another great way to get students to use quality resources! Let me know if you have an upcoming project and I will create a research guide specifically for your class.
MAGAZINES @ THE LIBRARY
Mental_floss Magazine
Known for their lists of random facts, quizzes and puzzles, the magazine is something of a "Smithsonian meets Mad Magazine" hybrid (cleveland.com).
