 * 1) Return to the library's [|main database] page. Click on the EBSCO database link. Select the EXPLORA database. (Ebsco has many different databases to pick from).
 * 2) In the search box, type "Cell phones AND privacy". You can use the word AND to combine terms.
 * 3) What is the "source" (magazine or newspaper) that the first article is from? List the title.
 * 4) Would this be a good source? Why/why not?
 * 5) Open the article. Is there a way to save it to your Google Drive? What other way can you save this particular article?
 * 6) Click the back arrow to go to the previous screen. On the left toolbar, scroll down the page until you see "sources." Click on magazines to just include magazine articles and not other types of articles. Write the title of the source for the first article that is on the list. Would this be a good article for research? Why or why not? Answer in your journal.
 * 7) Scenario: You are at home finishing up the last of your research and stressed out! Where can you find the passwords for these databases when you are not on campus? (Ask for help if needed!)

Congrats! Almosssst done! Now it's time for Level Three!
