Library & Learning Resources

The La Center Elementary School Library is open to students every day that school is in session, 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.  Students often enjoy visiting the library during these hours for reading, working on homework, and completing school projects.

The best online resource I know of for research and citation help is the Purdue O.W.L.

There is a citation maker (no ads) here as well as guides to both conducting research and effectively using what you find.

There is also an excellent guide to evaluating sources.

 

Want to know how how credible an article published online is? A good place to start is MediaBiasFactCheck.org.

This site rates websites on two scales: Bias: Extreme Left <—> Extreme Right  &  Factual Reporting: High <—> Low
