Digital Databases

When conducting academic research, it is important to use scholarly resources. Our school district subscribes to databases to help you with research. Databases are large collections of information that have been written by people that are considered experts in their fields. Information contained in databases is reviewed and edited for accuracy and updated frequently. Sometimes the database content has been previously printed in journals, newspapers, books, encyclopedias, or reference books.
