Welcome Scientists! You are here to work on your Organ System Diseases Research assignment.

So, why are the Librarians involved? Great question.

We’re here to talk to you about citation and how to find information for your work.

APA

This Primer on APA will help explain the basics of how you’ll be citing your work within a report as well as how to create the “References” list.

OWL Purdue is another option if you need help with APA citation.

As an alternative to starting with Google, we’re going to look at TDSB’s Virtual Library for your research.

Remember to select your Grade range (9-12) and subject area (Science &/or Health) before starting to search in the yellow FIND tile.

Some options to consider:

• Canadian Points of View Reference Centre (database)
• Science Reference Center (database)
• Infobase eBooks  (database)
• Global Issues In Context (database)
• Medline Plus
• NOVA Education
• science.ca 
• Health Canada

Remember that the databases are password-protected and some of the passwords have changed since last year. You will need to be logged into AW to access these resources. Look for the orange Passwords & Info icon in the Virtual Library if you’re researching at home.
