What Do You Need?
If your assignment is writing, you need reference databases and print books. If your assignment is listening/viewing, you need streaming databases or A/V items like CDs or DVDs.
Use databases anywhere with internet! Print books are in the library to check out or use here. Some major reference books are now also databases.
Look for the additional info button (blue "i") beside a title to learn more!
