Library 2 U

No time to come to the Library – let us come to you!

You do not have to sign up with us to use and benefit from the library resources.  Students use and love Google and Wikipedia, but there is so much more out there!  It is important for students understand the importance of using more than one source and to learn how to use credible and complete sources such as our databases.

Students struggle with:

  • Effective search strategies/techniques
  • Creating interesting/logical/effective powerpoints
  • Correctly paraphrasing
  • Creating works cited pages

Students LOVE our new LibGuides! These allow us to create a webpage to organize all the resources you need for topics and/or projects you are covering in your classroom.  We can post your handouts, videos, widgets (search box), and links for students to easily access from school or home!  We then send you the link to post on your website and we can post on the library webpage.

We can:

  • Come to your classroom to talk to students – we accommodate your schedule and timeframe
  • Provide a link to a libguide.  You tell us what information to include and we’ll post all the resources your students will need.

Contact us if you are interested in finding out more.

LibGuides

Look what’s new and helpful for you!  To help students readily access credible sources, we are creating libguides (research pathfinders) for your classes.  If you sign up in the library, assign an outside project, or utilize the computer lab, we can create guides that are specific to your assignment.

Examples:

Culture & Food of China http://libguides.bvwlmc.com/culinary_arts

Systems/Utopia http://libguides.bvwlmc.com/utopia

AP U.S. History http://libguides.bvwlmc.com/orlowski
