Databases

With millions of websites online, it can be hard to know which are credible and which are out-of-date, inaccurate, or biased. Library subscription databases are professionally researched and maintained for accurate, up-to-date information during each use.

Inside the library, access is available to all visitors, including wireless users, and no library card is needed. Outside the library, a library card is required to use the databases. Please choose the "Remote" link next to each database description.
