Research Process

Finding the INFORMATION you need:

DESTINY in ACPS Libraries: Remember, if WMHS Library Media Center doesn't have what you need but another school in ACPS does, let me know. I can have it delivered via school mail. Simply fill out the ILL form with the needed information, and the librarian will email you when it arrives.

Databases

Google Scholar mostly offers citations from scholarly articles, so you will still need to find full-text articles in the databases.

Google Books (Advanced Search) look for books on your topic. Most titles will still need to be checked out from ACPS libraries or our local public library. However, since many older titles are now being digitized, you may find full-text versions here.
