HOLOCAUST MUSEUM 

In order to build your Holocaust Museum display, you will need to thoroughly research your topic. We know you know that not every source out there is credible and authoritative and should be used. However, for a serious topic like the Holocaust, you need to be even more careful of the sources you choose to work with. This is why we would like you to only use the sources listed on this page.  

There are plenty of websites on your topic (see them further down on this page), but please know the media center has a TON of other sources for you to use on your topic. Use them because they are well-researched articles/books by credible, authoritative authors. These sources are not topic-specific. Below is each source type, how to access it, and how to find your topic.

You are required to use a minimum of three sources for this project. Many of you will use more than three. Remember, your images need to be cited as well!

  3. Search for your topic in the search bar. Most (but not all) of the Holocaust topics should be represented in this database.

eBooks
Our library has several eBooks that can be very helpful for this project. Here is how to access, use, and cite these eBooks.
  1. Go to the link for Destiny Quest.
  2. To access the eBooks, you will need to login to your Destiny account. Click the Login link at the top. Your login is your school username and password (no @nburlington.com). 
  3. Search for your topic or just the general term "Holocaust." Please note that not every topic will be represented in each eBook.
  4. Any results that show up with a blue or green "e" in the corner are eBooks and therefore accessible online, even outside of school. You can filter your results to just see eBooks by choosing Format > Electronic Books (on the left).
  5. Click on any eBook you wish to view. Then, click the link under the "Electronic Resources" heading (blue "e" eBooks) or click "open" (green "e" eBooks). This will open the eBook so you can read it online.
  6. Some eBooks will be dedicated to just your topic. Some, you will need to search/browse to find relevant pages. A good method is to scroll to the last few pages of the eBook to look at the index. Find your topic alphabetically, and then you'll know exactly what pages your topic is discussed on in the eBook.
  7. The blue "e" eBooks are cited for you (you just need to get it in Noodletools). The green "e" eBooks are not cited for you. For help with either, see the link below.
