Tips for Students, Teachers and Parents

When you need to find resources in a language other than English, the most effective search is a Language Search. This can be combined with other search limits, such as books only, or audiovisual materials. It's best to limit the search to your school district at first since interlibrary loan is easiest within the home district.

Tips for Media Specialists

Be sure to teach students how to combine a Language Search with other search limiters, such as web sites only, books only, or reading interest levels. If the results list is too brief, it is easy to broaden the search.
