Research Databases

We are excited to offer you access to two academic research databases of the same variety that students will be expected to use in college for research assignments. This is an opportunity to get used to going beyond Google for your information.

Even if your path will not take you to college, learning to get your information from reliable sources is an essential skill for the next four years of high school. Additionally, many of these databases are available to all NJ residents through their public libraries, so you will have access beyond school, whether or not your plans include college. 

Our databases are password protected!
