We also have an “ask the librarian” button on our webpage for you to email us questions.    And don’t forget, you can now “recommend a book” on our website–just click the link!

But we’ll be around– come by the NGC library or the Chap Court during lunch periods to find us!  And we’ll be coming to your classrooms.  Or keep in touch online–we’ll have more news here!

I’ll miss the old library–it was like a comfortable old shoe.  Maybe a little rough around the edges, but comfy.   But our new space will be beautiful and sunny and comfortable, too.    We’ll see you there!

How do you know what websites or authors or books to “trust?”

What are some clues you use to tell that the information is trustworthy?

If you are on Wikipedia, how can you tell when to “trust” an article or not? 

What are your favorite “go to” sources online?

 Share your insights below.  You may be included in an online video about choosing good sources, giving the “student” view!
