Library

Knowledge is P.O.W.E.R. P.O.W.E.R. Library (Pennsylvania Online World of Electronic Resources) is an online database that indexes thousands of newspaper and magazine articles and other sources for people to access from a computer. At school, students need only to click on the P.O.W.E.R. Library icon in their Novell box when they log on to our district network. Students are being taught to use this amazing resource in classes ranging from English to general science. At home, go to the Erie County Library website at [|http://www.erielibrary.org] and click on the P.O.W.E.R. Library icon. At this point you will need to type in your library card number. Don’t have a library card? Get one at any Erie County public library; they’re free! Some things that you might find through P.O.W.E.R. Library: Ø Newspaper articles Ø Magazine articles Ø Maps Ø Photographs Ø Images of artwork from all over the world Ø Biographical articles Ø Car repair information on makes and models from 1954 to the present Anyone who would like some help learning to use this database, please stop and see me in the library at the high school. You may also go to your nearest public library and simply ask for a demonstration. It’s quick and easy to use.   Mrs. Tarr
