ANB Online is a valuable resource that can be actively incorporated into classroom lessons. To assist teachers in fully utilizing ANB Online, we have prepared a Teacher’s Guide to Using ANB Online. Developed with the participation of librarians and teachers, the Teacher’s Guide offers six lessons that highlight the importance and value of studying biography as an end in itself and as a starting point for doing further research into the lives of those who shaped the American experience.
