LAUSD's Digital Library. What is it?
The Digital Library contain a group of databases as well as free sites to help students find credible resources for their research. A database collects information in a way that allows us to find it ore easily. Our Digital Library collection arranges groups of databases together depending on the host of the database or the subject of the databases. The guide below gives an overview of those groups. The Los Angeles Public Library also has databases that may be extremely useful for some tasks, but many of these will require that the user have a library card (which is free!).
How to Access the Digital Library
You can access the entire LAUSD Digital Library from our library website. When off campus, you will have to click on the “Remote Access” button and sign with your LAUSD SSO (for teachers, this is your SSO; for students, this is your LAUSD email and password).
There are so many resources! Which database should I use?
Your information need will determine which resources you use. What is your assigned task? What is the problem you need to solve?
