MHS Library Orientation 2020

Hey Mepham Pirates! Welcome to the Mepham High School Library. I'm your librarian, Mrs. Stack and I have been teaching at Mepham since 2006. In my 14 years here, we have always had an in-person orientation, but this year our orientation is strictly virtual due to the global pandemic. A lot is the same, but a lot is different. Click the video to see and hear it all!

Google Citations

We now have access to citations in Google Docs using your @bmchasd.org accounts. Open up a Google Doc and under the 'Tools' tab, click on 'Citations.'

Google Citations

Click here for instructions for inserting in-text citations and a bibliography into your Google Doc in MLA, APA, or Chicago (author-date) style. I am impressed with how easy these citations are to insert into your document. I suggest using this feature for books and websites. I am still on the fence for databases because most of the databases that we subscribe to already have the source citation in the correct format (MLA, APA, etc.) That just requires an easy copy and paste. However, if you want to use the in-text citation feature (which is awesome), then that requires the student to input the information into Google Citations. I suppose I'll let y'all play around with it for a few weeks and decide.

Getting Into the Spirit (all puns intended)!

 



While we don't have a Halloween book display this year, we still have a lot of horror suggestions. Stop by the library to get a recommendation from a professional.
