I recently submitted this proposal as a vendor session for the combined OASL/WLMA conference. It will not be a sales presentation, but rather an informational session on how a particular set of online materials can be used to support student research.
Presentation Title: Using Marshall Cavendish Digital to Support Student Research
In-Depth Description of Presentation:
Marshall Cavendish Digital is an online library of secondary-level research sources published by the well-known reference publisher, Marshall Cavendish. It includes over 30 works in curriculum areas such as geography, science, social studies and literature. School Library Journal’s review said, ” As a creative solution to the needs of librarians building their digital library collections, Marshall Cavendish Digital deserves an A for its unique options and quality of content.” Unlike most online materials, MCD has been created specifically for student use, is built to support curriculum, and is priced so that most schools can afford it without special grant funding.
This presentation will give attendees an understanding of
1. The research resources available through Marshall Cavendish Digital, their content and structure as it applies to curriculum support and student research.
2. Features, such as online student folders, remote and home access, built-in citation maker, etc.
3. Pricing options and licensing arrangements.
The session will conclude with a question/answer period.
Description of Presentation for the Printed Program:
If you don’t know where to turn for affordable, quality online research material, and your students need more than they can find at free web sites or through periodical article aggregators, come see what a respected school library reference publisher can do for you and your students.
