  1. Today’s Topic (Think in broad terms, see title!):

 

  1. What is your specific assignment? (What will you genetically alter? What is your assignment? Write a brief description.)

 

 

  1. Search the KHS Library card catalog.
  • Do a title search using the term “genetics”

  1. What are some other terms (keywords) you can use to conduct your

research? (As you conduct your research in databases such as Oxford, AccessScience, EBSCO and others, look for synonyms and alternate words to use for searching.)

 

 

 

  1. Can you think of some Boolean searches to use (combining terms using 

AND, OR, NOT as in advanced searching)? (Do an Advanced Search in EBSCO using “and”. Try 2 and 3 different words to narrow your search. Write these down. Did this decrease the number of articles?)

 

 

 

  1. Name the library databases that might be useful (those on the KHS library web page, especially INFOhio databases) http://www.kenston.k12.oh.us/khs/library/virtual_khs.htm)
