Donna Dick, Jacob

Gerding

, and Michelle PhillipsSlide2

In-Service Objective

Participants will utilize the SIRS database in order to find and evaluate resources related to their curriculum.Slide3

Warm-Up

What kinds of resources should students be using for research and how do they compare to what they are

currently using

? Slide4

What search engines or websites do you use when you do research? Do these look familiar?Slide5

Databases…..

hmmmmm

THE BASIC DEFINITION OF A LIBRARY DATABASE:

 

is an electronic catalog or index, often containing information about published items, and is searchable.Slide6

Why use Databases?

Trustworthy

Sourced

Editorially and Scholarly reviewed

Databases are vetted, quality sources of information.

Valid

ReliableSlide7

 

TYPES OF MATERIAL FOUND USING LIBRARY DATABASES ARE:

Articles from Journals and Magazines

Electronic Books

Newspapers

Images

Refere

nce SourcesSlide8

Databases vs. Open Web

SIRS Content Tools for Students & Teachers for

21

st

Century Teaching and Learning

Google

and Web Surfing for Content and tools for Inquiry-Based Learning

Why do so many teachers and students rely on Google and other Internet surfing when their

ProQuest

Library digital solutions are custom designed to support K-12 teaching and learning?

Do professionals such as doctors, lawyers, and engineers Google for information to service clients?

Don’t these professionals rely on CUSTOM databases and publications to keep them current, and help analyze and solve client problems?

¨

Don’t they know that …..Slide9

Databases vs. Open Web

100% of SIRS teaching and learning resources are curriculum-relevant,

standards-based,

and provide access to a variety of

editorially selected,

copyrighted, publisher-quality media types.

Teachers

can

access a variety of free SIRS-specific inquiry-based learning activities that integrate

21st Century Skills and

critical thinking.

Less than 10% of Google is k-12

curriculum-relevant

, and

limited to websites

; most are consumer oriented,

distracting

to students, and many are from sources that are

questionable

or even

inappropriate.Google can access lesson plan websites, but busy teachers will have to do the

necessary

selection

,

adaptation

,

and

correlation

to state standards.
