COMPASS Program Analyst California State Library Sacramento, CA
All California libraries can provide over a dozen online resources (aka databases) for their K-12 patrons with COMPASS, the California Online Media Program for Access and Student Success (formerly known as the K-12 Online Resources program). This session will be a quick tour through all that's available for our K-12 student patrons and their families from providers like Britannica, ProQuest, Gale, TeachingBooks, and our newest provider: Capstone with PebbleGo Science for our youngest learners. We've added arts programs from Alexander Street (a ProQuest product) too. We'll provide a guide so you know which resource is best for which need. You know that look of fear when a student comes in with a homework need but doesn't know what to do? You can help with COMPASS resources! Once you get the students started, they can continue working or researching from home or school. The parents will be grateful too!
