Tips and Tricks

Research is hard! You may find TOO much information; the reading level may be too advanced or source quality may be "SUS."  Solve these problems at once:  try the DSMS Library Databases-  a digital extension of our library.     

D-S pays for access to databases, which include digital encyclopedias,  news stories, magazine articles and primary sources.  Each database has a special focus - ask your teacher or Ms. Lutz for help with finding the right one if you are not sure.  

Databases are geared toward you, the student.   Articles are easy to save, print and (often) adjust font size, reading level.  Each article includes a citation to cut and paste into your bibliography.
