Internet Resources – New Look, More Content from EBSCO

Posted by Fritzquist on 4th October 2007

Those who have used EBSCO for full text magazine articles will notice a new look this fall. And if you haven’t used EBSCO, this would be a good excuse to login and see how it might be useful for you and your students. The name has also changed, to Student Research Center, and several formerly separate databases have been added. The added databases include EBSCO Animals, Health Source, and Newspaper Source.
In addition, users can now select which content sources (e.g., Magazines, Newspapers, Biographies, Radio & TV News Transcripts, Film & Video, Primary Source Documents) will be included in their search. They can also make use of an online dictionary and encyclopedia, and even limit searches according to appropriate Lexile reading levels.
The Student Research Center is available under the favorites menu on all computers at West High. For home access, see Bruce, Kathy or Bridget in the Library Media Nexus.
