Finding & Using Items from GRC & KCLS

You can find information about your item and other related books or videos on the King County Library System catalog as well.

These items can be sent to Green River by requesting an Interlibrary Loan - this is a free service for current Green River students!

book record - KCLS

You can find out a good amount of useful information about a book or video from its library record, including links to other related items that can also provide information for your project!

For example, if I want to create a cookbook of recipes that I could bake & possibly sell, the book listed below might help give me ideas about what professional bakers need to know. This catalog record tells me what the book is about, how old it is, and where to find it.

I can then take suggestions from the book itself to help develop my project and my oral presentation-- for example, the book Start Your Own Restaurant and More includes tips about the types of baked goods that sell well. So I may choose recipes for my baking cookbook that match these types of baked goods:

Bakery idea

Note - If you use more than one source, you'll still cite both sources! In this example, I would create MLA citations for BOTH the bakery business book AND the cinnamon roll recipe I use.
