Online Resource Descriptions

Students and teachers may access Montgomery County Public Library's (MCPL) online services through the MCPL homepage by using the barcode numbers on the back of their individual public library borrower's card. Library media specialists:

• encourage students and teachers to apply for public library cards
• acquaint them with the MCPS homepage and the number and variety of resources, including the online services that it makes available to Montgomery County citizens in the libraries and through remote access
• instruct students to use their public library cards if they want to access these resources
