TECH TIP:  New Science Database

As part of the library's collection of databases, there is a new science STEM oriented one published by ProQuest.  The database offers ​access to more than 500 science journals and popular science magazines.  The database offers the ability to save articles to your Google Drive as well as pre-formatted citations.  We used it last week in Lisken Dus' Non-Fiction class and would love to share it with your classes.

To access, simply click here and you will automatically get in here at school.  If accessing from home, you will need to use the username / password combo of:  monument / mountain

BOOK TIP:  Jefferson's Children:  The Story of One American Family by Shannon Lanier and Jane Feldman

Today's Arts and Ideas Forum is with the co-authors of the book Jefferson's Children: The Story of One American Family.  One of the authors is the sixth great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson and his slave Sally Hemmings.  They will present during period 7 today to a full house.  I have a copy of the book in the library if you are interested in looking at it.
