The library subscribes to over 300 databases (the main search includes about half) which can be accessed individually using the Subjects Database List in the "TCC Article Databases" box on the TCCD Library home page. Some databases specialize in one kind of information, for example: newspapers, controversial issues, videos, or statistics. Below are 4 scavenger hunt questions, one for each of 4 different types of databases. Information in the databases needs to be evaluated like all other sources... remember to SIFT!
Click on each of the four databases below and search to find the answer to the scavenger hunt question. Record your answers in the designated box on your poster template.
1. What is the name of the "expert" whose article under Viewpoints debates that: "Gun Violence Is Not a Public Health Crisis"
2.What percentage of households in the United States owned one or more firearms in 2018?
3. What journal published "Gun-Free Zones in Sensitive Places" and what year was it written?
4. Using the Map Search in NewsBank, how many news sources from the African continent are included in their database?
