Periods 1, 2, 3 & 4–SNC2D

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:

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.

Welcome to the Library and Learning Commons!

It’s a snowy day out there today. Hope you brought spare shoes. 🙂

Morning session – Maharaj – CHV2O1 – Civics & Citizenship

It is crucial to properly reference information that is not your own in order to give credit where it’s due and also to avoid PLAGIARISM. Providing your teacher with a URL for a website used unfortunately will not cut it anymore

Using the following information will put you on the right track to creating a bibliography to be proud of! (Remember to keep track of where you found your information so that formatting your bibliography will be a breeze!)

Below you’ll find the Laurier Guide for Chicago Citation.

Remember to look to OWL @ Purdue for other questions that arise about citation. It’s where Ms. Kelso or Ms. Vilicic go when we’re looking for information about citation.

Afternoon Session – Liang – SNC2D

Mr. Liang’s Grade 10 Science class will be coming down to learn about Fake News.

Welcome to the Library, Ms. Lane’s Grade 10 Science class!  You’re here to do research for your Climate Change Speech Assignment.

We recommend the Virtual Library for databases as well as the Library Catalogue for a variety of media pieces.

Check out the TDSB’s Climate Change Hub, particularly the Citizenship tab for lots of useful links.

Global Issues in Context,  Science Reference Centre and Canadian Points of View are all great places to find a variety of news articles as well as journal articles.

Remember to select your grade, 9-12, when searching for these databases. The login  for Gale in Context-Global Issues is trillium. The login/password for the other databases is tdsb/trillium20!

You will need to keep track of your resources as you research so that you are able to format them properly in APA. Check the examples below.

The-APA-Working-File

Watch the following videos for help in referencing your visuals in APA format. The following 2 videos give good overviews of 1) sourcing images that are free to be reproduced and 2) what to do if you do not have all the information you need.
From Charles Darwin University: Using and Referencing Images in APA
From Humber College Library: APA 6th in Minutes: Online images


You should make sure that you are able to reference whatever image you are using and that may take some careful searching within websites for the creator of the image.
