Online Research Databases
An online research database is simply a searchable collection of information managed by a trustworthy information/media organization or company, which is responsible for reviewing the content of each entry. Online subscription databases contain the most comprehensive, the most up-to-date, and the most reliable sources of information. We strongly recommend using our databases when doing research, rather than surfing the Internet for information. Our databases are accessible at school and anywhere.
Please contact a school librarian for assistance with accessing and/or navigating these databases.
