• A box will appear, click on webmail.
• To log in to your email, you need your email address. It will look something like this if your name is Jane Doe: jane.doe@stu.jefferson.kyschools.us

• Your password is the same JCPS issued password that you use to log onto the computer, it should look similar to this: jcpsJD1234
• If you do not know your email address and password, ask a librarian.  Be sure to bring something with you to write it down – something you will keep such as your agenda or a notebook that you keep with you.

​Gale databases curated for our school to meet any of your research needs! Dive into science, social studies, history, literature and more to find authoritative reference content alongside magazine and journal articles, primary sources, videos, audio podcasts and images! These databases are continuously updated to provide current information.

Don’t be fooled by media bias and fake news. AllSides displays the day’s top news stories from the Left, Center and Right of the political spectrum — side-by-side so you can see the full picture. 

2,000 primary resources curated around six crucial phases of the U.S. black freedom struggle. 

TumbleBooks’ databases are easy to use, and feature unlimited access from home! You can read as many books as you want, when you want, and on any device. There are no check-outs, holds, or bulky downloads. Books are available instantly.

The link to the OPAC (Library World) is available on the bottom of every page on this Libguide.

1. Once in the OPAC, type your search term in the box. You may search by title, author, keyword, or subject. From the list, click on the record of the item you wish to locate.
2. Under Holdings, "Available" tells you how many copies of the book, if any, are currently on the shelf: A zero "0" next to "Available" means all copies are currently checked out.
3. Look for the call number of the item you wish to find on the shelf. Nonfiction titles will have a Dewey Decimal number on the spine of the book.  B denotes a biography, along with the first 3 letters of the subject’s last name. Fiction books are arranged by genre.  Therefore, you will find a genre such as Realistic Fiction, Fantasy, Suspense etc.  listed as the call number. The genre listing will be followed by the first three letters of the author's last name.

Note: You will be routed through Clever to log in to SORA. Your username and password are your school email and school password.
