Database subscriptions

Databases are searchable collections of information managed by a trustworthy organization or company.  They contain the most comprehensive, the most up-to-date, and the most reliable sources of information. We strongly recommend using our databases when doing research, rather than going to Google for information.

Below are a list of databases you may want to use for research that are available anywhere in the state of NY (so you can view them at home).   

All databases can be accessed through the New York City Department of Education's network.

Access the public library databases with your public library card.  Don't have one?  It's very easy to sign up for one on the public libraries' websites.
