Books, Books, Books...& Research

Oh, boy...did it get crazy during the holidays! Too little time to blog, but everyone should know that there are new books, books, books in our library! Thanks to our School Site Council, one-time grant money has been used to update the collection and purchase research datbases for student research. Over 300 new fiction and 150 new non-fiction books are ready for check out. You can find them in the "New" section located at the front of the library. Additionally, the purchase of EBSCO's Student Research Center now gives our students instance access to online reference books, biographnies, prinary source documents, images, video, maps,and flags; as well as, access to articles from over 25 U.S. and international newspapers and articles from over 4,800 resources! The EBSCO's service allows students to choose from 4 interfaces: Student Research Center, Point of View Reference center, History Research Center, and finally an option to choose which databases are accessed thourgh EBSCOhost Interface. Students can access this from anywhere there is an Internet connection! There is a direct link in this blog, as well as on the Edison High School Library wiki.
