Online Databases

In addition to physical resources, the library provides online databases to help support student learning. These databases provide access to a variety of reliable information that can be used to further learning and/or support school research projects. Gale, Encyclopedia Britannica, and TexQuest all include news articles, videos, images, and journal articles. Please see below for our available databases. If you can not remember the password, accessing these through Clever should log you in automatically!
