The Library? November 12, 2008

Today in my English class we touch a trip to the Library in the new Business Building. Although it only holds business and reference books, the computer lab is a great resource. Speaking of the computer lab – that’s where we had our lesson.
A librarian came in and talked to our class about the resources available to SU Students as well as all the databases we can us to find what we need. Our class is currently working on a term project where we compare a book to a movie and research how the book was turned into the movie. I did this term project in the Spring for my AP Language class in high school – it’s very interesting. But I NEVER had the amount of resources available to me then that I have now at Stevenson. We learned about how Stevenson shares a database with other colleges such as Hood meaning I can have resources from other schools that I need shipped to Stevenson! She showed us three databases that will really help me find information on movie reviews, articles, and biographies and screenplays on my book, We Were Soldiers Once and Young.
So if you can’t make it to the library – get on your computer and check out the “virtual” library!
