I know a lot of great grandmothers, grand fathers, aunts, uncles, etc. in the Villages who help their high school or younger students with their home work at times.
So. This still applies especially if you have been in a library in the past few decades.
I was walking around with a friend a few years ago and we were discussing her daughter's Bibliography for her big writing assignment.

We had old 1940's and 1950's newsreels, textbooks, radio, and network TV. We had Childcraft and World Book encyclopedia sets. That was the bulk of our knowledge base.
We had such limited access to information, compared with only 10 years later, that the question has no relevance at all.
