Resources to which they are entitled

If a student is a public library card holder at one of askON’s 23 participating public libraries askON staff can help the student access and use their public libraries’ licensed resources.

Google and other search engines

We are not against popular Internet search engines. They can be useful. askON librarians help students use search engines more effectively by offering alternate search strategies and encouraging students to question the reliability and authority of the information they find.
