Urbana
High School students have access to several free electronic resources for use
at school and at home. These resources are available through funding that
Infohio (the school library network) received from the legislature. Infohio’s
web address is www.infohio.org. We also have it linked on our Urbana City
Schools website on the “What’s New Page” as Online Electronic Resources (www.urbana.k12.oh.us/new.htm.)
Encyclopedia
Britannica is the newest resource. This access is only available at school,
although Britannica has made their basic encyclopedia available to the general
public at www.britannica.com.
Please
take time to recommend these sites to your students. They are valuable
resources for them to use as they work on research projects.
