EBSCO Databases (http://search.ebscohost.com/) is bigger, stronger, and more powerful than the old MAS Online! Search over 600 full-text magazines, over 200 full-text newspapers, or a health database in the High School Resources. Teacher Resources has over 500 professional journals for education, more than 300 of those are peer-reviewed. Literary Reference Center gives author information and critical articles.
Opposing Viewpoints Online (http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb/linc02865) has viewpoint essays (with the credentials and bias of the authors!) with linked web sites and magazine and newspaper articles on many, many controversial topics from abortion to youth and just about everything in between!
World Book Online (http://www.worldbookonline.com/) is a general encyclopedia online, and a lot more. It’s an especially good place for Exhibition students to go when looking for content standards—all the RI standards are available by grade level in the “Educator’s Toolbox.”
Facts on File World Atlas (http://www.fofweb.com/subscription/) Very nice world atlas with maps, flags, and statistics on all of the countries of the world and states of the US. It also gives web links to other useful sites.
Twayne's Authors Online (http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb/linc02865) has biographical and critical essays on authors and their works.
ABC-CLIO Social Studies Databases (http://www.socialstudies.abc-clio.com/) Four databases with loads of great stuff on people, events, and places. We get American History, World History: Ancient & Medieval Eras, American Government, and World History: The Modern Era. On all of these databases are ebooks related to the topics, and help with research and citations.
Choices Planner (http://www.access.bridges.com/) is a college and career exploration program that is easy to use and will help in determining good career choices as well as colleges where you can pursue courses that will help you get into the field you want.
