TECH TIP:  SIRS Issues Researcher Database

This week, Meghan St. John and Tara Birkett's classes were in the library beginning work on their final research projects.  I showed them the SIRS Issues Researcher database for their project.  I like this database because you select your issue, and then the database organizes the articles by question topic and presents articles and other evidence for both sides of an issue.  Here's how it works:













You can access this from the library's database webpage and can get right in if you are accessing it here in the building, but will need a log in code if using from home.  Let me know if you'd like that code.  

BOOK TIP:  In the Woods by Tana French 


 I recently discovered this detective series that is part of the Dublin Murder Squad series by Irish author Tana French and I'm a huge fan.  The mysteries are solid and captivating, but the writing and the development of the detectives characters is top notch.  They are moody, dedicated, and all have a bit of Irish about them.  Another one for your summer book list if you are a fan of mysteries!
