DeKalb County Public Library Cardi-Bee, Justin Bee-ber, Bee-Arthur and the queen herself, Bee-yonce, have buzzed in to announce that September is National Library Card Sign-Up month. Although this hive is holding court at Toco Hill-Avis G. Williams Library, all 23 branches of DCPL are going all out to sign up as many new cardholders as possible. New cardholders will receive a limited-edition Discover More library card. The new design reminds people that there is always more to discover at the library. Current cardholders can exchange their card for the new design, too. Check out dekalblibrary.org/discovermore to apply (or share this post with a friend) and see everything your free library card grants you. Bee seeing you! Research Corner"Verify information from several sources. The internet is a big place, and, for the most part, anyone can say whatever they want online—many websites don’t evaluate their content for factual accuracy. This means that there are plenty of unreliable resources out there, and even many that are outright incorrect. The best way to combat this is to make sure that whatever you find in your research, several different sources can verify that it is true. Rather than going off of one webpage, make sure that at least two other places say something similar." At Stephenson Middle, we suggest using some of our paid databases, such as Middle School In Context by Gale, GALILEO, or Culturegrams. You can access the first two through your Clever log-in. For Culturegrams, see Ms. O'Connor, Media Specialist. Citation: How to Improve Your Research Skills: 6 Research Tips - 2023 - MasterClass
