Databases are an important resource for conducting responsible, thoughtful research on a given topic. Our exclusive collection of Gale In Context databases sync directly with your Google Drive and make citation and referencing a snap.

The Douglass Library staff is always available to help students and teachers navigate the research process. 

If prompted for a password, please see the Online Resource Access page. You must log in with your FCPS email to view.

Kentucky Virtual Library Databases

The Douglass learning community also has access to a variety of resources thanks to the Kentucky Virtual Library (KYVL). KYVL access includes not only academic research databases, but also research tutorials, test prep, and skill building resources.  K-12 Students across the state have access to this awesome tool! 

All students and staff have access to the resources here as long as they are connected to the FCPS network. If you are off the network you can use your FCPS Google account to access KYVL!

How To Research

There are lots of great tutorials on the research process via KYVL's How To Do Research page, Gale, and the library's own YouTube Library Research Playlist.  

Mrs. Reno is available in the library during the school day if you have questions - all you need is a library pass and your Chromebook!
