Things to know about research at home.

Database Passwords--Most databases are accessible from home. To obtain a list of passwords, please ask a member of the library staff at school.

Saving and sending files...will they open at school?--When typing papers Microsoft Word is the preferred format.  Microsoft WORKS is NOT the same and sometimes these files can not be opened at school.  For more information click on the Research FAQs link at the top of this page
