STEP 3: ResearchStart at the EGHS website214 Library Resources

Try these subscription sites:World History (Modern Era)Global Issues in ContextCQ ResearcherWorld Book

After you have researched these sites, you may check out any of the other sites on the D214 list.

After you have researched on the D214 site, you may check out the following sites:United Nations: https://www.un.org/en/globalissues/Peace Corps: http://wws.peacecorps.gov/wws/stories/section.cfm?gid=3 (Scroll down to Global Issues)World Health Organization: http://www.who.int/topics/en/

Don’t just Google information. There is a lot of bad information out there, and Google does not filter it. If you don’t know where the website is from, you cannot use it because you do not know if it is credible or not. Too often, students just Google information and believe whatever websites pop up. Use the sites from your teachers. Trust them.

STEP 5: Works Cited

You must make a Works Cited for every article you use.

For the 214 Library articles, the citation is at the bottom. Outside of the 214 Library site, the citations are NOT at the bottom. You have

to format it on your own. Go to EASYBIB.COM to do a correct citation.

After you make sure you have the correct information in the citation, check the following:

I put my heading in the upper right, I put the title Works Cited at the top of the page, and I centered the title.

Entries are in alphabetical order by the author’s last name. If there is no author, it is alphabetical by the title.

Entries each have a hanging indent.I did this by going to FORMAT/ PARAGRAPH/ SPECIAL (HANGING)

I double spaced the document

I checked that the font the same: 12-pt Cambria or Times New Roman.
