and the answer is TRUE...
Three people took a shot at the question and all of them were right.

If you need help with Math, Science, English, Social Studies or any school assignments, you can get help from a live tutor available at Live Homework Help. Live Homework Help is available from the Osterhout Free Library's home page from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. everyday. It is also available in Spanish at the same time.

In order to take the advantage of this database all you need to do is to go to the Osterhout Free Library's web page @ http://www.osterhout.lib.pa.us, click on the icon, enter the barcode on the back of your Luzerne County Library System Crad, choose the grade level, select the subject and then once you get logged on chat with a live tutor.

Answer to Database Trivia question # 4

The correct answer is "All of the Above."

The best source to start looking for the most authoritative information is catalog where you can find information about the books and encyclopedias on a particular topic.

The second best source will be magazines or journals. To access the magazine/journal articles from home you can go to the web page @ http://www.osterhout.lib.pa.us/ and then click on the POWER library icon. POWER library provides access to various databases covering various subject areas. If you need pictures, photographs and fact sheets, you can try AP Multimedia . If you need detailed articles, go to EBSCO Animals and conduct the search.

Information can also be found on the Internet, however you must be careful about the authority of the publisher. Usually, sites with domain name . edu, .net, .org., and .gov, etc. are considered more reliable than sites with a domain name .com.

If you have any questions or need help with your research paper, please call us @ 823-0156. To reach the reference librarian after hours, try ASK Here PA, our 24/7 reference service.
