Research

When doing research, try starting with @LL Search, it searches everything @ Lesley Library, including journal databases, book catalogs, eBook libraries, encyclopedia entries, newspaper articles, and streaming media!
Search
Are you looking to place a hold on a book from another Boston-area library? Are you only looking for books, and you want to limit your search to one Lesley library? You can still do that in our FLO catalog!
Technique
Search Youtube for technique tutorials, like this video series by Kathie Shoemaker, art teacher and illustrator of over 40 children's books.
