Databases
Databases offer students a wealth of information, and finding the information in a database is much easier than Googling. Also, please remember, database articles come complete with citations already done for students. Please encourage students to use them at school as well as at home. We are lucky that we have access to these! Usernames and passwords are available in the library. Please remember that usernames and passwords are case sensitive.
