Extended Essay (IB): Database Workshop

To guide IB students through the Extended Essay process.

Database workshop: February 2025

Database Workshop

During this workshop we will make sure you have an EE folder where you will save all of the documents related to your EE, understand how to use the different databases and which ones are best for different subjects and how best to record the bibliographic details you will need in order to meet the IB's referencing standards.

After the workshop, you can access support with creating citations and bibliographies on the Citing and Referencing (APA) LibGuide, if you would like it at this stage.

Notice for Mac users

Important notice for Mac users using Safari:
If you are having any problems accessing the embedded videos, this is probably because you have "Prevent cross-site tracking" switched on, which is the default option in Safari. You have two choices. You can either turn this setting off and refresh your browser screen (at which point the videos should allow you to sign in and should work) or you can use a different browser.
There are instructions below for turning off "Prevent cross-site tracking" in Safari. If you want to use a different browser, I use Firefox (available free here), but there are many other choices available.
