Hi everyone,

 

For those of you interested in the responses to my research tools question, the most helpful responses have been Jacquelyn’s Google hyperdoc and Adrienne’s (St. Thomas Catholic School in Fairfield CT) suggestion to use the free scavenger hunt handouts provided by EBSCO, which can be found at https://help.ebsco.com/, click on training in the menu and it’s listed under “additional training.”

 

Other suggestions included:

TRAILS Assessments, which I use but is going away soon/maybe

Advanced Google search tips

Library orientation and using the CRAAP test, which I already do

MLA/citations/Noodletools, but my school’s English department already covers that in their classes

Subject: [CASL-L] High school research handouts

Hi,

 

Does anyone have handouts, worksheets or other supplemental tools for teaching research to high school freshmen you are willing to share? My English department would like me to expand my one day research crash course into two days. They have given me a blank check to do whatever I want, including homework and tests. Here is what I have covered in past year during a regular 42-minute period:

 

ResearchitCT.org

Google vs. Google Scholar

Sweet Search

Worldcat.org

Bristol Public Library (or student’s local library)

Boolify (Boolean search tool on KidzSearch.com vs. linear algebra in Google)

 

Any and all tips are welcome!

 

Thanks,

"The old idea of the librarian as a sort of recluse closeted with his books and

interested only in them is the very antithesis of the modern librarian, who

must live with people equally with books, and who must also be keenly aware

of all that is going on in the world around him."

~Linda A. Eastman~ (Head Librarian of the Cleveland Public Library, 1918 to 1938)
