Students:

• Check to see if a book you want is in your school's collection. Print out the record and take it to your school library media center to get it the next day.
• Find books at your reading level on subjects you like. If you use Accelerated Reader, Reading Counts, or Lexiles, search by those features.
• Build your own bibliography.
• Search for information on SUNLINK's web sites. Don't waste time surfing! Go to the best sources!

Parents:

• Help your children search SUNLINK. Or let them show you what they know about searching!
• Work with your children to set reading goals, build booklists to guide their reading. Use reading and interest level search features.
• Check to see if your school has a book that you've seen recommended on TV or in magazines.

Teachers:

• See what your school library media center has on a topic you're preparing to teach.
• See what's available on a topic statewide and ask your library media specialist to borrow items you'd like to review.
• Create a bibliography of materials you'd like your students to use. Give it to them (and to your library media specialist, of course!)
• Create study guides for web sites on unit topics accessible through SUNLINK. Give students experience in finding, reading, skimming, summarizing, and using information.
• Use the Quick Search field to search for keywords in the Sunshine State Standards to plan resource-based units. See examples below.
