below are
subscription databases that
may require

| Gale Virtual Reference Library "A database of encyclopedias and specialized reference sources for multidisciplinary research. These reference materials once were accessible only in the library, but now you can access them online from the library or remotely 24/7. Because each library creates its own eBook collection, the content you see may vary if you use the database at different libraries." |
Junior Edition K12 "Designed for students in elementary and middle school with access to a variety of indexed and full-text magazines, newspapers and reference books for information on current event, the arts, science, popular culture, helth, people, government, history, sports and more." NOTE FROM NOLA: I found this database to be extremely easy to navigate with its kid friendly graphics. |
| Kids InfoBits "Developed especially for beginning researchers in Kindergarten through Grade 5, features a developmentally appropriate, visually graphic interface, the most popular search method is moving from a broad subject to a narrower topc using the subject-based topic tree. the curriculum-related, age appropriate, full-text content is from the best elementary reference sources and magazines. This database covers geography, current events, the arts, science, health, people, government, history, sports and more." |
What
Do I Read Next?
