Note: Each of these databases provide you with the citation!
Hints:
Try searching for the word Elizabethan (World History in Context) or try Renaissance England (ABC-CLIO)
With ABC-CLIO, choose one of two sub-databases: Daily Life through History and World History: The Modern Era
Use JSTOR for more scholarly information. Use the URL in "website" in Easybib.
Reminders:
1. Less is more. The more specific your keywords, the better the results.
2. Try different combinations of keywords to search.
3. Use Advanced Search in any database to narrow results.
4. Email or use "print-friendly".
5. Databases provide the citation for you to copy and paste into Easybib and your notes.
6. Watch out for plagiarism! Don't just copy word for word what you find. Take quality notes!

About using print sources: The Monty Tech Library is closed for renovations. Even with the internet, many people prefer using print books. Many print books contain information not available in a digital method. If I'm talking about you, use your public library!
Go to your local library to sign up for a card.
Search by format, keyword, or library. When you have your own library card, you can request any book you find in the system to be sent to your own town library.
You will use MLA format to cite your sources. You need to register with easybib in order to save your citations. When you register, enter the Montytech password to get the school account.
