Schapiro Northwestern Academy for Chicago Public Schools

Welcome to NU Libraries!

Welcome to the Library Guide for Schapiro Northwestern Academy CPS Students!

Before you get started, there are a few things to know:

  1. For today, you are using a guest ID from Northwestern Libraries to access the library's resources. You should be able to use your own Northwestern login and password to access most of our resources from home.
  2. You can come back to the Main Library, as long as you have an adult with you. More information here. 
  3. For more help with your research, please feel free to contact library@northwestern.edu or a Subject Librarian about your topic. 

In addition to the resources on this guide, please use the links below to access more resources available from Chicago Public Schools and Chicago Public Libraries. 

Information Sources

When starting research on any topic, it's crucial to get in the habit of questioning the sources that you find. Of each source, ask:

  • Who is the author of the source of information?
  • Who is the audience for this source of information?
  • What is the purpose of this source of information? (To inform, entertain, or educate?)
