TVMS Library: Country Research

HELP!! Working from home?   Click here for usernames & passwords for the library resources.  (You'll need to access the document through your tvsd.info account)

Essential Question: How does a researcher select which information sources to use?  How does a researcher evaluate those sources for reliability?

You will be expanding your knowledge of the world by learning about another country.  We will use the 5 themes of Geography as our guide for taking notes.  You are to gather information from the various resources in the library (books, research apps, web links).

Remember as you research:

• How is the resource (book, app, or site) organized?
• Does the resource include a list of contents?  An index?
• What key terms are associated with the info I'm looking for?
