Research

Finding information can be tricky. And there are better sources than just asking Google, or relying on Wikipedia. 


The Abington Public Library has many reliable resources and librarians to help you with questions, downloading e-content, navigating the catalogue, and one of them is Rob, our Reference Librarian. He can help you search a database, find the right database to search, help you download an eBook or an eAdioobook, or hook you up with hoopla and kanopy!

 

 

 So- Ask Rob!
