Mrs. Anjejo, LLA's 7-12 librarian, gave introductory lecture to students reviewing the Dewey Decimal System and the three major types of sources in the LLA 7-12 Library: books, periodicals, Internet databases. Comparing the need for a call number for a book to the need for an address to locate an unfamiliar house, she emphasized the importance of using the online catalog, writing down the call number of a chosen book, and then finding it on the shelf.
Mr. Stone explained the details for completing the research topic "bubble sheet," emphasizing the limitations of search engines by comparing them to the literal-mindedness of Kindergartners and first-graders. Students are to complete the sheet which requires search term variations.
Students need to find a minimum of ten sources for their research paper. At least one of the sources, must be a book.
Homework: Locate at least one source and bring the source/a printout/photocopy to class.
