for delivering full-text and multimedia reference essentials.
A starting point for

research easy. Students find the
answers they need from more than
1,000 full-text magazines,
newspapers, reference books, and
transcripts, plus thousands of
pictures and maps.
It provides schools with powerful,
compelling resources for extending

integrate technology effectively into
the curriculum—increasing
technology literacy for all users.
These attributes and others meet
NCLB requirements, qualifying for

Using natural language or Boolean
search, students can type a question,
phrase, or keyword. Students may
also search or browse by topic or
publication. They can sort their
results by relevance, date, file size,
reading level, publication, or source.

And they can create marked lists, or
view, print, or email any document or
image in one easy step.
Other search features in eLibrary help
save time and make research easier.
The Reference Desk offers a place to
start the research process. The
BookCart feature allows educators
to build persistent links to eLibrary
content—creating reading lists, topic
pages, lesson plans, and more.
eLibrary makes it easy to build
the research skills necessary for
academic success.
