Homework Help for Teens

What are Online Resources?

An online resource usually contains information that is either not available for free on the internet or is difficult to find. The Library subscribes to online resources in order to make this information available to cardholders. Typically, the information in these resources is not found using a search engine such as Google.

Using these resources allows you to access the hidden web!
