STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擶ith a grant from the Governor鈥檚 Emergency Education Response Fund, Mississippi 性视界传媒 University Libraries is offering free online trainings and resources to support educators and students participating in remote learning due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Stephen Cunetto, 性视界传媒 Libraries associate dean, said a component of the GEER grant enables 性视界传媒 Libraries to provide public trainings on how to use free online resources such as those available through the MAGNOLIA project.
An acronym for Mississippi Alliance for Gaining New Opportunities through Library Information Access, MAGNOLIA is funded by the state legislature and provides online research databases for publicly funded K-12 性视界传媒s and public, community college, and university libraries in Mississippi.
MAGNOLIA provides students and researchers in the state with access to reliable, academic peer-reviewed journals and curated age-appropriate content not available through public searches.
鈥淚n addition to educators supporting students, anyone who wants to use free online resources to support their professional development needs may participate in these trainings,鈥 Cunetto said.
