 * I. Online Databases**
 * 1. INFOhio** (www.infohio.org)
 * **World Book Advanced**
 * Type your terms in the search box.
 * Look also at the box on the right that says “Related Information.” This leads you to books, other encyclopedia articles, websites, and magazine articles that may also be helpful.
 * You can create a “My Research” account that will allow you to save articles to look at in the future as well as create a timeline (see section V below).
 * Notice that your bibliographic citation has already been created for you at the bottom of each article. All you have to do is copy & paste it into your Works Cited page (refer to section IV: Works Cited, below).
 * **If you are asked for a username and password while working at home, consult the orange database sheet, complete this online form, or email Mrs.** **Walker: lwalker@finneytown.org**

If you’re starting out at their website, click on “Research and Homework,” then “Research Databases,” then “Art and Music,” then “Grove Music,” or just click on the link below:
 * 2. Cincinnati Public Library** (www.cincinnatilibrary.org)
 * **The Grove Dictionary of Music**
 * Enter your library card number & PIN (if you do not have one, Mrs. Walker will provide you with a number to use).
 * The database that pops up is called “Oxford Music Online” which actually searches 3 music databases at once.
 * Type your terms in the search box.
 * Results: a brief article may appear with clickable blue links underneath, leading you to even more information that is broken down by subject.
 * **Also note the tabs at the top of the page**. You may be looking at the “article” tab, but if you click on the “works” or “multimedia” or “related content” tabs, you will get even more information.

Obviously there are plenty of websites out there. Here are a few to get you started. Don’t forget to use the ABCs of Evaluation if you decide to try to find some on your own. Also, it’s a good idea to NOT USE Wikipedia for scholarly research. College professors frown upon it.

There are various books related to music history/Handel pulled from the shelves. Some books will have an index in the back of the book. Check the index for Handel’s name or the time period that he was in, and then look for the appropriate volume or page numbers. If you really want to check out a book, you can try the Public Library of Cincinnati.

 * V. Timeline Makers**
 * World Book Student** (www.infohio.orgClick on "Resources for Grades 9-12," then click on "World Book Advanced")
 * Sign into My Research and use the Timeline creation feature (World Book home page, left side of the screen under "Create and Share.")
 * Exporting the timeline is a little tricky. You will need to do a screen shot (press "Print Screen" on your keyboard), go to the "Paint" program under accessories, press paste, then edit it and save it as a picture file to include in your Glog. See Mrs. Walker for help.
 * If you want to include pictures, find them here: @http://creativecommons.org/ or Wikimedia Commons so that you do not violate copyright laws. Make sure that you include all picture citations in your Works Cited page!
