Meet Mrs. Despines

Welcome to the Upper St. Clair High School Library! The library is a space for quiet study and collaboration.

Mrs. Despines can help you access, choose, use, and cite information. Let her know if you need help finding:

• a book to read or using the online catalog or ebook catalog
• database articles or online resources for a research project
• resources to support your learning journey
• citation guidelines for creating citations for your sources

Mrs. Despines enjoys working with students to support their learning. She often collaborates and co-teaches with faculty to support information literacy skills. She curates resource pathfinders for research projects that direct students to the most relevant print and online sources. Students can always ask Mrs. Despines for individual help with the research process.

The library houses the student-staffed technology help desk. If you need technology help, stop by the desk, or ask Mrs. Despines for help.

Students can access library information and databases via the USCHS Library course in Canvas.
