DIGITAL LIBRARY INTRODUCTION FOR TEACHERS

COMPILED BY LINDA ROCHE, FAIRFAX HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER LIBRARIAN

LAUSD Digital Library, not to be confused with SBAC Digital Library, is a collection of subscription databases for student and teacher research needs with free access from any LAUSD computer. These databases are often required use in higher education. Our students will need a working knowledge of digital database research strategies for college-readiness, and if we don’t provide it, we are setting them up for failure. You can familiarize yourself with LAUSD Digital Library subscription databases with this guide, and more in-depth search strategy help is part of the library’s mission of Information Literacy for all.

Articles include ready -made citations and may be emailed for later access from non-LAUSD computers. Many databases offer listening and language translation tools. The following visual guides are arranged by departmental relevance and to highlight Common Core resources emphasis.

Several pathways lead to Digital Library from your LAUSD computer:

• Fairfaxhs.org > Academics > Library Media Center > Library Homepage > Digital Database Library

• LAUSD.net > Search field > enter “Digital Library” > click the first link “Library-ILTSS”

• ILTSS.org > Quick links > Digital Library paid sites

NOTE: The Main page Discovery search field is an EBSCO tool and defaults to their offerings , though results from other databases do appear. Select databases individually for quicker access.

This guide to Digital Library databases is posted on the library Lessons and Webquest page as a PDF.
