Databases and Online Resources

The information you will find through these databases is considered more trustworthy and usable than that found searching the “free net”.  There is an expectation that you will learn how to access and search these resources in a competent manner. The main focus is for you to locate, access, evaluate and utilize information in a variety of formats so that you will develop the necessary skills to become an independent, socially responsible, and literate citizen. Please see Mrs. Cerone or a Library Staff Member to obtain the usernames and passwords for the databases listed below.
