Teacher Services: Subject and Class Guides

Subject guides identify information resources available to teachers and students in an academic discipline.

Resources may include subscription databases, reference sources, primary sources, websites, streaming audio/visual sources, and of course, books and eBooks.

While a subject guide is not comprehensive, resources are curated to align with curriculum standards and to expand students' inquiry-based learning beyond their classroom texts.

A subject guide pulls together the best resources available in the broad discipline for high school and college-and-career bound students. When students go to college or use their public libraries, they will also need to know how to find and use subject guides.

Class guides are similar to subject guides, but they provide:

1. A more focussed, curated list of resources for the specific unit or project.
2. Information and media literacy process skills appropriate for the grade level and field of study.
