“I happened upon your export today and I’m so excited! My students will be so happy!”

Cheri Tomboc-Brownlie, a Teacher Librarian at Westview High School (San Diego, CA), wrote us just after the ProQuest export to NoodleTools went live. All California public school districts and charter schools have unlimited statewide access to ProQuest’s CultureGrams, SIRS, Issues Researcher, SIRS Discoverer, eLibrary, ProQuest Research Companion, Schools and Educators Complete and ProQuest Central Student as part of the K-12 Online Content Project from the California State Library.

ProQuest databases and the NoodleTools platform are widely used in virtual learning at Poway (CA) Unified School District. Honors 9th grade English writes an argumentative essay while the regular 9th grade English undertakes an argument project which requires both notecards and an annotated bibliography. In 10th grade English, students produce a PSA related to their pro/con research and the AVID college-readiness class tackles a controversial issue essay.

SIRS Police Brutality
"They love SIRS when they do their Controversial Issues projects because the database presents three relevant and readable articles about the issue organized by viewpoint."

Andrew Tilke is an instructional leader who has written extensively about the value of the school library in inquiry learning. The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program and the School Library, grounded in his doctoral research, is an essential source of information and strategies for librarians and educators in IBDP schools.  As IB Coordinator at the American School of The Hague, he is an enthusiastic proponent of ProQuest databases alongside NoodleTools.  “In instructional mode and one-on-one support for the Theory of Knowledge course, the Extended Essay requirement and individual assessments, I promote ProQuest’s huge databases for their impressive range of subjects, especially in the sciences. If students are researching topics in psychology, for example, I can send them to the excellent resources in APA PsycINFO.”
