Online Homework Help
New Zealand school children can have your own Librarian, online to guide you through the Internet.
AnyQuestions is a free website that features librarians online in real time helping students find and use quality Internet sources for their homework while developing search and information skills.
This service doesn’t just give the answers, instead it is designed to guide students to proper information, and help them gain the skills to undertake future searches themselves.
Librarians are online and ready to answer your questions every weekday throughout the school year (February to December) – even during the holidays, Monday to Friday, from 1pm to 6pm.
This service is backed by the Ministry of Education and staffed by librarians from public libraries and the National Library.
