Research ideas for Advanced Higher pupils
Register for a MyJSTOR account (for FREE!!) and they will be able to browse the full content and read up to three articles a fortnight, storing them on a digital shelf linked to their account. Just register for an account at http://about.jstor.org/rr
You can also get access to journals by creating an account with the National Library of Scotland https://auth.nls.uk/eresources/ You will be sent your password, so don’t leave this to the last minute!
You can of course access journals when you visit the library at Aberdeen University. It’s really important that you remember to take along a usb to enable you to download any relevant articles.
And don’t forget Google Scholar.
If you need assistance with your research I’m happy to help out, so please come and see me 🙂

AR BookFinder
Now you can find out if the book you’re reading at home has an Accelerated Reader quiz.
Just click on the icon above and get searching. You can use Advanced Search to search for books by level or topic. Create your own book list and take it to the library to see if we’ve got any of the books on the shelves. If we don’t have it in our library, I can add it to our wishlist!
