Research, Databases & Digital Subscriptions
When you're doing research, the best places to look for reliable and accurate periodicals are the databases the school district maintains for your use. Databases available to you are listed below, as well as some other search tools. Usernames & passwords are available with your teacher or in the CL&I.
TIPS BEFORE YOU GET STARTED:
Make sure you read over the source and that it actually contains useful information BEFORE you print--sometimes it is just an abstract (summary of the article) and isn't going to provide any useful content.
Look for the PDF format, when possible, to find the article as it appeared in its original publication.
