I went to the AEA Online site and chose SIRS from the menu on the left.  I logged in using our school login and password, and then chose "Civil Rights" as my topic.  http://sks.sirs.com/cgi-bin/hst-portal-res?id=S0621405-0-2199 

I am hoping to have students utilize SIRS in my classroom as an alternative to researching topics via Google.  This particular topic would be primarily for research on topics for Social Studies class, but could also be used for other curricular areas.  SIRS offers an excellent base of topics to gather research and a large variety of different mediums (newspapers, magazines, graphics, etc) for students to use.  By using SIRS I hope to lessen the amount of research our teachers are seeing gathered from sites like Wikipedia.
