Not sure how to use the Resource Directory?
The following information will get you started!
If you are still having trouble, please contact us with any questions you might have.

- Know the title of the resource?
-
If you are looking for a particular resource and know the title, use the Keyword Search.
Make sure you select "Look through: Titles only" and enter one or more words in the title box.
Check your spelling and try just one distinguishing word found in the title.
- Looking for something about a particular subject?
-
Use the Keyword Search and select "Look through: Titles and descriptions."
You will get a list of all resources which have that word in the title or description.
Increase the search by entering more words and selecting Search for "Any of these words" from the drop down menu.
Narrow your search by selecting "Exact match".
You can also browse by Project.
- Want to see everything that is currently in the directory?
-
Use the Keyword Search and leave the box blank. Click "Search."
- Looking for just posters, videos or another specific media type?
-
Use the Search and check the media type you are looking for.
- Want to browse what's available?
-
If you're not searching for something specific, try browsing through the listing by Project Code, Subject, or Source.
- Looking for something new for a very specific use?
-
Use the Search and check as many boxes in each field as you want. (i.e. grade level, subject, agricultural content, geographic area, media type and/or price).
You will get a list of the resources that match at least one of your selected criteria in every category.
- What about punctuation?
-
If you are using more than one word in the Keyword Search, a comma may be used, or you may simply leave a blank between words,
(e.g. "cow hay" or "cow, hay").
- Is price a concern?
-
Try checking the "Free resources only" box in the Search.
There are a large number of resources available for free in the directory.
Also, you can sort your results by price.
Check the "Sort By Price" option at the top of the page.
