November’s Electronic Resource of the Month….

November’s Electronic Resource of the Month is the Veterans Resources Gateway.  Find the Gateway online via the LAPL website from the Research & Homework page (http://www.lapl.org/collections-resources/research-and-homework#V).  If you are not on a library computer you will need to have your card handy as you access the site.

The site provides resources on general subjects, governmental resources, upcoming events, web resources for veterans collected by LAPL, resource handbooks, books, and ebooks (the ebooks will require your library card for remote access).


In addition to the online collection of resources the library has nine veteran center locations dedicated to helping veterans and their families (you will find a list of all physical centers on the gateway page).  Each center has trained volunteers who can meet and help in connecting veterans and their families with essential information.
