How to use Chat with a Librarian (K-12)
- Fill out your information
- Put the name of your school in the box
- Write your question in the my question box
Why would I want to use this?
This new Chat option was developed to better meet the information needs of the commonwealth’s elementary, middle, and high school students. So, whether it’s help finding reliable web-sources, peer-reviewed articles, learning how to correctly cite a source, or even just asking random (but essential) questions—POWER Chat K-12 will help.
Where is the link?
All POWER Library links can be accessed through the logo on the sidebar of this webpage, from the dropdown menu under Resources and Services, or right here [https://powerlibrary.org/chat/#.YRwFeohKgdU ]
