Researching Basics

Today we will be working with a few more of the tools that are accessible within the lab. Be sure to pay attention to everything today. It is going to be a very short period, so we have to move fairly quickly. We will be working with Nettrekker, SIRS, Newspaper source and AP Multimedia.

If at any points there are any questions, do not be afraid to stop me and ask.

Nettrekker will require a password.
