Tuesday and Wednesday will be devoted to your research project. When you log on at the start of class, you should have three tabs open on your computer:
1. The http://www.vhslibrary.com/ site----go to the Napa County Library site and click on databases. (Infotrac Newstand and Opposing Viewpoints)
2. Noodletools.com---log on (have you entered your Research question yet on your dashboard?)
3. Your email so you can access the sources you send to yourself.
KEEP IN MIND, you cannot conduct a search on these databases the way you search on google! Remember to use AND/OR/NOT like the librarian showed us and then narrow your search, using the column on the left hand side.
WHEN YOU HAVE FOUND A SOURCE:
1. email it to yourself and your partners
2. make a CITATION (that's the bibliography button on noodle tools)
3. make a NOTECARD (or two or three, depending on your source) linked to that citation
4. HIT "SAVE" when you have finished the notecard!
By Monday, I would like to see that each of you ( INDIVIDUALLY at this point) have collected at least 5 notecards in your noodle tools account. Don't worry too much yet about a specific category of research, just find out as much as you can about your topic---next week you can meet and discuss what you have learned with your group and then splinter off more specifically.
