  1. A Problem-Solving Research Model For Our District

  2. Doing Research For Your Location & Access Washington DC Project An Original Powerpoint by Mrs. Fisher

  3. In Hagen Jr. High Library, we have made a collection of most of the books from our Washington DC category. These books are located in the Reference section above the atlases. Even though we have this collection out for you to use . . . .

  4. You will still need to use good researching skills to locate the information that you need for your project.

  5. A lucky few will find whole books on their assigned topic. While others will have to dig deeper to find the facts! What do we mean when we say “dig deeper”?

  6. We will talk about that as we discuss 3 types of sources you might use for this project. What are 3 types of resources you might use to find the information you need?

  7. What are we talking about when it comes to the print resources?

  8. Strategies for Print Resources • Use the index of books (Be creative in selecting search terms) • In encyclopedias, look for “See also” and other cross-referencing • Pay attention to even small articles & picture captions • Scan general material for specifics to lead you to the information you need. • Ask for help from library staff

  9. If you can’t find much in a print source, go to the next best thing— A subscription database

  10. North Dakota State Library

  11. New Database

  12. Just like with the print resources, you need to be a good detective when it come to tracking down the information you need in the databases.

  13. Finally—you’re ready to search the internet!

  14. Online search strategies-- • Use good search terms to ‘drill into’ the best websites • Look for “official websites” .gov .edu .org

  15. When you find a resource you can use—be sure to write down all the information you need to cite the source and help you find it again!

  16. Let us know how we can assist you. Good Luck With Your Projects!

  17. We Promise http://librarianavengers.org/images/lookitup.jpg We won’t just tell you to . . . The End

  22. You will be also using illustrations on your posters. • If you want to print in color, save all of the images to one page of either a “Word” or “Publisher” document. • Be sure to save on the server in a lower version of “Office” (’97 – 2003). • Ask a librarian to send it to the colored printer. • Remember to write down the URL that you find under the “Properties” (Right click on image) so that you can cite your sources.
