Every time I try to use the database it never pulls up something I can actually use so I just end up not using the database. When it does pull up an article there is no actual text.]]> 2019-10-24 13:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rhorhowilli/a6u6e4qzn0di/wish/401996455 https://padlet.com/rhorhowilli/a6u6e4qzn0di/wish/401996458 Example:
If you are searching for standardized testing look up "standardized test effects on the school system".

Don't use too many words in your search box. ]]> 2019-10-24 13:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rhorhowilli/a6u6e4qzn0di/wish/401997019 https://padlet.com/rhorhowilli/a6u6e4qzn0di/wish/401997164 I had a lot of trouble trying to cite the sources I found in the ATU Databases. Any tips on that?]]> 2019-10-24 13:24:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rhorhowilli/a6u6e4qzn0di/wish/401997164 https://padlet.com/rhorhowilli/a6u6e4qzn0di/wish/401998737 It can seem challenging to find a source that exactly fits your topic. You probably won't find anything specific. Use keywords about your subject and search for those so that you can find a variety of sources that could help you. For example, I am researching macronutrients for a speech, and I need sources from the ATU database. Instead of just searching "macronutrients," I searched "carbohydrates" AND "fats" AND "proteins" using the advanced search options. This search process gave me a lot more information to use. Overall, I recommend using the advanced search tools available.]]> 2019-10-24 13:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rhorhowilli/a6u6e4qzn0di/wish/401998737 https://padlet.com/rhorhowilli/a6u6e4qzn0di/wish/402049441 I always have to look up how to cite sources just to double check, and it is very helpful
