Lesson+4

This week we will begin to look at the databases on the Upper School Library page. We have dozens of resources available, so we'll take a look at some of the general reference databases. To start, let's navigate to the databases! Go to the Upper School LibGuides page (from the Agnes Irwin homepage, click on **Faculty/Staff** (upper right hand of the page) and then scroll down (second to last link) and click on **School Libraries** on the left.

Click on your subject area to view the resources available for your subject area(s). We love to explore new resources! If you know of a database you'd like to have, or would like us to review options for you, please let us know!

We've divided the US Library homepage into tabs, organized by subject area:



If you are accessing the databases from an off-campus location, we have set up a proxy server, so you do not, as stated in the video, need a separate password for each database; you should only have to enter your username and password (what you use to log on to your computer at school) in order to access them. If this is not working, please let a librarian know!

We will start out by taking a look at eBooks, a database that contains information from a wide array of subjects. Many of the reference books in our physical collection can also be found in eBooks.

Locate a resource in eBooks that is related to your subject area, and then cite it in Noodle Tools. NOTE that you will want to cite any information from an encyclopedia as a Reference Source. Good luck!
