WELCOME EAST CAMPUS STUDENTS

MISSION STATEMENT
To inspire our students to read for information, enjoyment, curiosity, and knowledge. We work with educators and students to provide intellectual and physical access to information that support our curriculum in all formats, as well as instruction to foster competence and stimulate interest in the exchange of ideas today and in the future.

Amazing facts! Look what happens to our brain when we read!

What is JSTOR?

https://www.jstor.org/Links to an external site.

JSTOR is an online database of books, journals, photos, primary sources and all kinds of scholarly (fancy word for credible) sources that you can use for many papers your teachers assign. To put it in simple terms, it is the opposite of Wikipedia. It is an online library you can use both at school and at home. Just log in with the username and password above.
JSTOR has an easy to use citation tool for correctly citing (giving credit) for your sources.
JSTOR is available in most higher level secondary schools and college libraries.

How do I use it?

For information on how to conduct a search, you can try the following page on JSTOR:
https://support.jstor.org/hc/en-us/articles/360000063528-An-Introduction-to-Searching-on-JSTORLinks to an external site.
For additional help on researching, Mrs. Bartlett is available in the Tech Office every period except 3rd MS and 7th HS.
