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.
