This collection of research resources will aid you in your search for information. There are links for both on-campus and remote (off campus) access. Remember to ask the librarian or your teacher if you need help. This page is password protected and you will need to sign in to access the links.

 

Here you will find a collection of websites chosen and reviewed by librarians and teachers. These sites contain information you can trust for your research assignments. To find information on your subject, click on a subject from the list or type a search term in the box.

 

When you search the Internet you’ll find an overwhelming amount of information. Remember that these websites have not been reviewed or selected for information quality. To help you decide which websites have quality information for your research projects, use our Website Evaluation Tool.

 

Use this guide to help you assess the validity of websites found during your research before you use the information for your Derby assignments. If you are not sure that the website is appropriate, check with the librarian or your teacher.

 

When you use anyone else’s words or ideas in your research, you must give credit to the source where you found the information by including a List of Works Cited at the end of your report. Failure to do this is plagiarism – intellectual dishonesty – and a serious academic offense. Follow the Derby Academy Works Cited guidelines to create the list of sources you used for your research. Remember to ask the librarian or your teacher if you need help.
