Students and parents can access TDSB provided databases, eBooks, encyclopedias, videos, school and public library collections, electronic encyclopedias, digital resources and curriculum support organized by grade, or subject anytime anywhere, and on any device. With a wide variety of online books, databases and media, students are able to navigate their way through a variety of resources in any particular subject field, class or assignment. Electronic encyclopedias and full-text databases are accessible via the online library on the school network and from home with TDSB password access. The Virtual Library is designed to help students find:
-
Curriculum relevant online resources/tools to help with projects, homework, and to encourage reading and viewing in a variety of formats for K to 12 learners - eBooks, database articles, streamed media, and online tools (see Read Watch Learn and Find)
-
Subject links to help with research, math practice, games, homework (see Find)
-
Resources for starting an inquiry or research project (see Inquiry and Find)
-
Reading suggestions and student book reviews (see Read and Just Read It)
Many of the resources on the Virtual Library have been licenced only for use by TDSB students and their families. Look for the Passwords and Information page which includes passwords students will need to access many of the Virtual Library resources from home. Students can always access these passwords using their TDSB credentials to log in.
