Your student can visit the Smith Library Center to use sources for book reports, projects, article searching or leisure reading. Perhaps you can help then become familiar with the way our Library is arranged, find sources via our articles databases, etc. My goal is to help you help your own teenager use our Library as a tool. In the meantime, you will learn the proper way to search for a source and learn how to use outline databases. I will show you how to even find links for some of the latest free resources on the web.
