Use the source citation features in the databases for your bibliography citations.
 * [[image:NHSLibrary2.jpg link="@http://lms.npsct.org"]] || Use the NHS Catalog **Homepage** to locate databases, eBooks or online encyclopedias appropriate for your topics.

Use the **Catalog Tab** to search for books on your topic. Enter broad keywords to locate books, then use the index or table of contents in the book to locate specific information. REF (reference) books are located on the lower level of the library. || Remember that databases require passwords if you are accessing them from home. These are found on p. 41 of your student planner. ICONN requires a public library card for home access.

Research tips:
 * Two databases with general information (including popular magazines and newspapers):
 * **ICONN**
 * **Global Issues in Context**
 * For info on a person: go to ICONN, click on "high school" (under //search individual resources//) and select **Biography in Context**
 * Wikipedia? Only use articles with a rating of FA, A or GA (found under the //Discussion// tab)
 * When evaluating the reliability of a website (from a //Google// search), use the feature in //Easybib// called "Website Quality Checklist" (found at the bottom of the citation template)
