Help! I need to ...

Cite my sources
Remember, library search apps have an automatic citation tool. Follow along with your friendly neighborhood librarian (a.k.a. Mrs. Heiba) and learn how you can access this special feature and cite sources using library databases!
For more information, visit the Purdue OWL (Online Writing Lab) to answer all your research and citation questions.
research a current issue
Want to sound smart about current events and impress your relatives at the next family dinner? SIRS Issues Researcher will help you learn about the most researched and debated issues of today.
Similarly, Points of View Reference Center presents multiple sides of major issues.
do background research on my topic
If your teacher tells you not to use Wikipedia (even though we here at MHS Library love Wikipedia!), check out Gale Virtual Reference Library. It's a great starting point and provides general information you need to know about your research topic.
find information on colleges & careers
The US Dept. of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook can help you find career information on duties, education and training, pay, and outlook for hundreds of occupations.
Fix my Chromebook
Keys not working? Broken screen? Not charging? Visit the Technology Department, located in MHS Library, to get your chromebook fixed. Just fill out the Chromebook Trouble Report and bring it - along with your broken chromebook - to the Tech Office for repairs.

Forget boring old PowerPoint.... Try these Common Sense recommended Presentation Tools for your next project or presentation! Create screencasts to teach a topic to your fellow classmates, use a design tool to craft sleek graphics, or record entertaining animations.
