Katelyn Walker - AVL Screencast
I chose to highlight Academic Search Premiere through the Alabama Virtual Library. This is an EBSCO database that is widely used by scholars and students, and it is most appropriate for use in a college or university setting. This database provides access to journals ranging in focus from science to the arts; it's a multi-disciplinary, full-text, scholarly database that really provides incredible access to content. I would use this database to introduce students to the research process, to help students find information about an author I'm teaching in a course, or to find analysis on a literary text.
Great Presentation, Katelyn! I know I use Academic Search Premier very often in my graduate classes, specifically my research class. I currently teach middle school, so this may be a bit advanced for my students. As a future librarian that could teach in a high school setting I think that Academic Search Premier is a great resource to use for advanced classes like Advanced Placement and Honors Classes. This could be used with English, Technology, Science, History, STEAM, classes. I would want to teach my classes how to use their resource prior to setting them free on it, but they could start with finding resources available prior to them doing heavy hitting research projects, which you could definitely do with 11th and 12th grade advanced placement and honors classes. Thank you for sharing with us!
