Digital Learn

If you are new to computers, haven't used them for a while, are a little unsure and uncomfortable, or just need a bit of a refresher, here are some easy to use tools to help you tackle technology at your own pace and gain the confidence you need to succeed.

Digital Public Library of America

The DPLA offers a single point of access to millions of items—photographs,
manuscripts, books, sounds, moving images, and more—from libraries,
archives, and museums around the United States. Users can browse and
search the DPLA’s collections by timeline, map, format, and topic; save
items to customized lists; and share their lists with others. Users can also
explore digital exhibitions curated by the DPLA’s content partners and staff. 

Encyclopedia Britannica Online

Includes the complete Encyclopedia Britannica, Britannica's Internet
Guide, and Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary

Evaluating Information on the Internet

This handy guide, created by the librarians at John Hopkins University lays
out the criteria you should use when evaluating internet resources. We
know you won't always have a librarian by your side, and this guide will
prepare you to use your own critical thinking skills to make smart decisions
when it comes to websites.

General OneFile

More than 7,100 general interest periodical full-text titles and 3,600
journals, and hundreds of newspapers. Also more than 500 travel guides,
including Fodors.

Issues and Controversies

Helps students and researchers understand the crucial issues we face
today, exploring more than 800 hot topics in business, politics,
government, education, and popular culture.

Khan Academy

Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos,
and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study
at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. There are a wide range
of topics and all are free

Opposing Viewpoints in Context

The premier online resource covering today’s hottest social issues, from
Offshore Drilling to Climate Change, Health Care to Immigration.

Snopes

Originally founded as a repository of urban legends, the site has grown into
a full-fledged rumor and hoax debunking website. If you're heard something
on Facebook or through a chain email that doesn't quite seem on the level,
check out Snopes and see what they have to say about it. They do their
research, and they provide sources for their information.

Universal Class

Adult education classes taught completely online, with instructors available
for help. Earn continuing education credits by completing classes. (must register)
