Databases for Our Library

     There is nothing better then getting free resources for the library.  This week I learned about a couple of databases being offered to all students, parents and staff thanks to the New York Online Virtual Electronic Library (NOVELNY). The best way to access them is through the school library and we can now find the link on our own OPAC .  Just look at the links for eLibrary, Grolier Online and Kids Infobits under the database category once you are in our OPAC.

     In case you did not know a database is a tool that has collected and organized information from a variety of printed magazines, encyclopedias and journals.   Instead of going to Google to research information for a class project you can conduct a search at one of the kid friendly databases and find better results. You can even access it from home but you will need the username and passwords from your friendly librarian Ms. LaLuz.  Just drop by the library during open access and I will show you how to log in.
