Our PrepSTEP (https://libezp.lib.lsu.edu/login?url=http://www.learningexpresslibrary3…) (formerly known as Learning Express Library) database is probably our best resource for this, though you may want to check with the agencies to ensure the materials are up to date. These materials are generally under the career preparation section on the PrepSTEP homepage. East Baton Rouge Public Library (https://www.ebrpl.com/) also has Learning Express 3.0 that has state test prep material if you have a current EBRPL card.

The short answer is yes. Most of our special collections are only available in their physical formats. However, we do have some digital collections online, which are made available through the Louisiana Digital Library. We do participate in interlibrary loan services for select materials (typically microfilm) and we offer a variety of duplication options.

Please see the answers to your questions below about features in EBSCO's MyEBSCO folder. On the left of each article, there are words like "export", "cite", and "notes".
- These features allow you to manage the contents of the folder. For example, if you want to export the citation to a citation management (https://guides.lib.lsu.edu/c.php?g=279388&p=1862193) tool like Endnote or Zotero, you can do that. Or if you want to make notes about the citation and come back to them at a later date, the note for that citation will still be there. If you are interested in learning more about citation management and how it can help you organize your research, refer to our Citation LibGuide (https://guides.lib.lsu.edu/citation) as well as our workshop (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRcFIlrWpDg&list=PL5ZtZe36ynPlutYgX4_x0…) about Zotero where you will learn how to set up Zotero to save and store sources and generate citations. To view upcoming workshops, please use our events calendar (https://lsu.libcal.com/calendar/eventsandprogramming) .
What do these features actually do? How long does content remain in my folder?
- As long as you are logged into the MyEBSCOhost platform, the citations will stay there until you remove them. Here are some FAQs (https://connect.ebsco.com/s/article/EBSCOhost-Folder-Frequently-Asked-Q….) regarding how long content is kept in the folder.
How do I delete an article from my folder if it is not relevant?
- To remove result(s) from your personalized folder, select the result by clicking on the appropriate check box, then click the Delete Items link. You may find this page (https://connect.ebsco.com/s/article/How-to-Use-the-My-EBSCOhost-Folder?…) useful in learning how to use the folder as well.
Feel free to reach out to your subject librarian (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/staff?field_staff_type=2&search_api_staff=&fiel…) for more assistance. eResources Staff
