Digital Content Resources
How can you insure that students will easily find reliable, current information 24/7? Start by using the DIGITAL CONTENT RESOURCES. There is something for everyone in these online resources: current events; dictionaries; encyclopedias; articles from reference books, newspapers, magazines, and journals; images; videos; and much more. Several of the resources have a “read aloud” feature!
Where do you find them?
- your school media center web page (use only when at school)
- LOGIN tab on the LPS Staff Center web page from anywhere 24/7
- Library Media Services web page
Your school librarian or Library Media Services staff will gladly assist you if you have any questions or need help getting started.
