The document discusses resources that a school librarian can utilize to help students. It recommends creating subject pathfinders to highlight free resources and keeping up to date on classroom lessons to develop relevant pathfinders. The librarian should publicize pathfinders when students need them and use social media like Twitter to stay connected. A list of specific resources is included, such as websites for donors, free books, bookmarking tools, and examples of successful pathfinders.
