Library Databases Online

I enjoy helping customers find information and showing them how to use new resources that they had no idea were available to them. I find that they are usually surprised and grateful to discover these new resources. This is particularly true of the library's electronic databases, the majority of which are available remotely to customers through the library's website. All you need is a library card.

Did you know that you can access articles from thousands of newspapers from Canada and around the world? Are you looking for car repair and troubleshooting information? Use the Auto Repair Reference Center database which has car manuals from 1945 to  2007. Do you have an issue to debate for class, for example cloning, euthanasia or political corruption? Check out the Opposing Viewpoints database to research both sides of the argument.

The Learning Express Library resource has practice tests that you can take, such as TOEFL, EMS, firefighter, math tests, reading and writing tests, LSAT, GED,etc.

You can also access full-text reviews from Consumer Reports for all but the most current three issues.

These are only a few of the resources available. Ask your local librarian how you can access this wealth of information.
