New Databases: American History Online AND Issues & Controversies
The library is very excited to announce that we now have access to two new Facts on File databases!
For those who may be unfamiliar with these databases, American History Online should obviously be helpful for those American History-based Social Studies classes (makes sense, huh?). Some highlights include: event and topic centers, overview essays, many primary sources, and a video gallery.
Issues & Controversies is great for updated, current event sources. Some highlights include: pro and con statements, variety of resources (editorial cartoons, timelines, speeches, newsfeeds, discussion questions and activities), "Need a Research Topic?" summaries, and curriculum tools for teachers.
The two ways to get access:
- On-Campus: Go to the Databases & Research folder on your desktop and JSTOR should be one of the icons that are featured - double-click it and you should be good to go! When inside school, you will automatically be signed in through the OLGCHS account.
- Remote: If you go to the GC Home Page, then Quicklinks, then Media Center, then Click Here, then the Databases tab, you should see it (and the remote sign-in information) there.
If you have any trouble accessing the site, please let me know as soon as possible so I can work out the bugs.
Don't be shy about requesting an introduction to this database – just e-mail me at davis@olgchs.org or stop by the library office to chat!
New Library Catalog Computer!
