Online Library Resources

Posted: August 14, 2020

Welcome back everyone. We are looking forward to introducing you to lots of great books and research resources again this year. Discovery College Library offers a wide range of online subscriptions which may be used to support the remote learning programme. You may click on the relevant links below to access information on these for both primary and secondary students. 

Primary

All resources to support the Primary Years Programme are provided on the Ding! Library page or detailed on Home Learning grids each week. A number of educational providers continue to share further content for free during this time of school campus closure. The Ding! Library page is being updated regularly as more of these resources become available. 

Read Aloud Resources

Our Library page on Ding! has been recently updated with several read aloud links for you to enjoy with your child. You will have seen that many authors are also now reading online and sharing videos of their stories at this time – you and your child may wish to search online for a favourite author. We recommend parental supervision as many authors are posting on a variety of social media channels such as YouTube and Instagram.

If you have any queries in relation to any of these resources, please contact our PYP Teacher Librarian, Leanne Sercombe by email to leanne.sercombe@dc.edu.hk

Secondary

Secondary school databases and online subscriptions can be accessed via our Library page in the Student Resources section of Ding!. In particular, check out our fantastic eLibrary, Wheelers, which has over 800+ books available to read via browser or on the ePlatform app. If you are not already a Wheelers user, you can register here to access. If you have any queries in relation to any of these resources, please contact our Head of Library, Maura Corcoran, by email to corcom1@dc.edu.hk.
