The Lancaster-Lebanon IU13 IMS provides districts with access to two popular research databases, Student Resources in Context and Opposing Viewpoints in Context for the secondary-level researchers. These resources provide federated searches to help turn learners into researchers, thinkers, and debaters.

Information for this 2023 Back-to-School Update is provided by our partners at Gale. Check out the full PA August Edition of the Gale Goodness Newsletter from our IU13 representative, Tracy McCreadie. IU13 districts can reach out to her directly concerning changes to their GALE resources through POWER Library. Any educator can sign up here for a virtual or in-person meeting with her to talk through your specific needs.
