[Katie Anderson]

Hi! All Oregon libraries have free access to the following online resources that may be of particular interest to K-12 students doing homework or studying for tests like the SAT, ASVAB, and GED. Below is a list of free training webinars you can take to learn how to help students use these resources more effectively.

Questions about access to these resources at your libraries? Contact Arlene Weible at arlene.weible at state.or.us<mailto:arlene.weible at state.or.us>
Questions about the training webinars? Contact gale.salesassistance at cengage.com<mailto:gale.salesassistance at cengage.com>

The State Library provides these resources to public, school, academic, and tribal libraries in Oregon with Library Services and Technology Act funds from the national Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Thanks,
Katie
