Gayle Dill's Information On Staff Resources
Go to http://www2.fairviewparkschools.org/live/
Click on students, then library
Student resources – arranged by subjects, testing, careers and additional resources. Gayle is happy to bookmark resource sites that you would like the students to have access to from this site.
General References – where the data bases are listed. They are used more often than non-fiction books. Some are through Infohio , OPLIN and College Link. Some we subscribe to through the district. The data bases are listed in alphabetical order.
Ebsco and Sirs Discoverer are periodicals – Ebsco has a professional journal section. There will be some data base changes for next year – but there will still be the same kinds of information available. You do need a password to access these from HOME. You do not need a password at school.
The Gale Data bases, including Student Resource Center Gold – has professional references as well as student references. We also subscribe to 11 online books including Opposing View Points. You can search all of the resources or pick a single resource within the collection to search.
School Rooms – a new product created by librarians within Ohio. It is arranged by rooms. Each room is broken down by subtopics. You can search at this level by choosing everything or best of the web ( which ties into the infohio data bases and eventually the school’s online catalog) IF you use the explore the room search tree that will open along the left side of the screen, you can narrow down the search and get fewer, more specific hits, on the best of the web options that it shows you.
