Subscribed Databases
Databases give you access to high quality, curated content that may not come up in a general internet search. Databases provide you with authoritative sources that are acceptable for school research. Many of them have citation tools to help you do an excellent job. When you access our subscribed databases at school, you will not need the user name and password. To access from home, see one of the library staff for an easy link to our passwords. We'd also love to help you decide which database is best for your purpose.
