As the end of the school year approaches, students are scrambling to finish up their papers and projects.  The Reference staff at FPL is here to help you!
Did you know that we have a variety of online sources and databases available to you 24/7 from wherever you are?  Your Minuteman Library card number is all you need to begin or finish your research. Start here:

For a paper on a literary work, go to the Literature Resource Center.  Search by title or author to find plot summaries, biographies, criticism and more.
For research on a current topic, the Gale Reference Center Gold is the place to start. This database integrates a variety of sources - newspapers, reference books, magazines, and trade publications. Find articles on current events, popular culture, business and industry trends, the arts and sciences, sports, hobbies, and more.
The Gale Virtual Reference Library contains E-books on a multitude of topics, including but not limited to: Fashion, the Renaissance, Religion, History and the Environment.
We also have Business, Science and Health databases.
Remember that you can always call the Reference Desk during library hours at (508)532-5570 ext.  4361 to help you get started.
