Welcome, Persuasive Essay Researchers!

Now that you know what your topic is, you're ready to do some research to strengthen your arguments. I want you to look in two places before you just get onto the internet and google your topic: the SFPL databases and Librarian's Index to the Internet (LII). Here's what you should do:

1. Click on the SFPL link in the Navigation bar. When you get there, copy the library card number and get into the SFPL site. Choose articles and databases, and then go directly into the InfoTrac OneFile database. You will probably find articles about your topic here, but you may need to look around and change your search terms to find them.

2. If you can't find any articles on your topic in the SFPL databases, try the Librarian's Index to the Intenet (LII). You can get to LII by clicking the LII link in the Navigation bar.

If you can't find anything in SFPL databases or LII, go ahead and look around on the internet, but remember that you can't always believe what you read on websites.

Happy searching! # - Helen Turnbull - 5/10/07; 12:32:54 PM -
