ACS Library Research Guides

We use the following links and documents to support all of our research activities at the American Community School. We have adopted MLA formatting as our instructional standard, and we have adapted the principles of the Big Six instructional method to teach the research process.

ACS Library staff members have created all of the documents you will find below. If you choose to adapt these materials for your own use, please credit ACS accordingly. Thank you.
