How many of you have used Overdrive/Libby for reading or listening to books? "Fieldtrip" to the media center to learn about Utah's Online Library.

Usually sources are checked for helpfulness, reliability,  and accuracy. Human beings have search through lots of material to find the most helpful, reliable, and accurate information for various grades and reading levels.  Students previewed databases available on Utah's Online Library. Students practiced using databases on Utah's Online Library.
