Navigating the Virtual Library
The Virtual Library contains links to databases, streaming video, copyright information, research help, curriculum support and many more digital resources to support staff and students.
Where can I access the Virtual Library?
- Direct -- library.kprdsb.ca
- School library catalogues (on the Destiny main page)
- School Chromebooks (under KPR Bookmarks)
- School iPads
- KPRDSB homepage (under Staff or Students)
- Learning Resource Library (staff access only)
- Kpr on the Web (staff access only, *need to add the +app)
Student Password to the Virtual Library: kprlibrary
What do I need to access?
Access to many digital resources are customized so KPR students/staff can access them without entering an id or password. These services authenticate a user based on their IP address or with a special link that contains embedded access permissions
There is a link to database logins and passwords on each page of the VL
Accessing from Home
Home use has its challenges!
- Most digital resources require a high-speed internet connection and the most up to date browser version
- Internet access from home varies greatly. Personal devices often have specific internet settings or content restrictions as do home networks or routers
- We strongly recommend that students try accessing a resource using their own device in their home environment before attempting to complete an assignment from home
- Students need to review the HELP pages for the resource they are using. The help pages will clearly define what is needed to successfully use a resource
