Students with a Harris County Public Library card may access more databases at http://www.hcpl.net/ref/dbsubs.htm and applications for library cards are located at http://www.hcpl.net/about/library-cards and we encourage all students to get their own library cards.

We can also recommend some online databases that are free.

• Wikipedia: Once we learned that Wikipedia is verifying (vetting) the information people share there, we decided that students could use Wikipedia.
• Digital Public Library at http://dp.la : offers links to sites on various subjects
• Research Methodology
  • Big6.com
  • EasyBib for easy creation of Bibliographies or Works Cited pages: http://www.easybib.com/
  • Plagiarism: http://www.plagiarism.org
