Access to Print Materials
Print and eBooks are always available.
Don't forget about print and electronic books-- they often have exactly what you need!
- 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 if you need help using the catalog or finding the print title in the library.
- 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.)

How Do I Create an Annotated Bibliography?
An annotated bibliography is a snapshot of how your research is progressing. It is often turned in early in the project. An annotation is a brief explanation of the source which includes A. a brief summary of the source and B. how the information will relate to your research.
Noodle Tools will take care of the formatting for us, but an example is below.
Digital Notebook Option
For this project, Mrs. Miller is giving you a choice between a traditional research paper or the creation of a digital notebook. The notebook option will be reviewed in class, but click on the image on the left to see an example for this project.
