Librarian Problem Solvers - For the New K-12 Kitchen Table Teachers
Who needed help: W&M faculty and staff with children or child care responsibilities
Librarian problem solver: Rebecca Beasley, Librarian and Director of the School of Education’s Learning Resource Center
Problem: Faculty and staff who are suddenly in charge of homeschooling K-12 students are looking for helpful resources beyond what is supplied by the teacher. The amount of information on the Internet is overwhelming; can W&M Libraries highlight quality sites?
