Yes, it's true...The district has changed how and where student's find digital resources. Students can access academic resources through Schoology.  The district partnered with the Los Angeles Public Library several years ago, and has transitioned to using their resources exclusively.  So, students review the video to open the door to a mulititude of academic and  vetted resources. 

If you are not an LAUSD student, you must access the district's paid databases outside of Schoology.  You must have a Los Angeles Public Library (LAPL) card or a teacher library card to access the databases.
