Curated Resources for Classes in the Library Today
Welcome to the Library!
Period 2 – PLF4M
Ms. Vieth’s Leadership class will be coming in to work on their Research.
For the research, may I suggest the following links on the Virtual Library?
The Canadian Encyclopedia
The Library’s Databases
Biography.com
The Players’ Tribune
Google might lead you down some useful paths, but for the most part; it can be inefficient. Try looking at associations your chosen person was affiliated with. Look at Professional, National, Regional or Municipal Sports Halls of Fame when looking at individuals associated with Canadian sport. Did you know there’s even a Scarborough Walk of Fame? Even the smaller facilities or halls of fame will include short biographies of these people.
Resources for the PLF4M
Citation
For this assignment, you will be using the APA school of citation. Remember that includes in-text citation and a References page at the end of the essay. We’ll go over the APA rules of formatting in depth on your second day with us.
The file discussed with the class for easy access can be found here

Open in new tab Remember to look to OWL @ Purdue for other questions that arise about citation. It’s where Mr. Kosowan or Ms. Vilicic go when we’re looking for information about citation.

Instead of just going to Google, we advise that you consult the following databases as well.
