What are ISKL online databases? The databases that the library subscribes to (we pay $ for them) are searchable collections of newspaper, magazine, journal and encyclopedia articles, biographies, images and primary source documents. They contain articles from reputable sources and are excellent sources for research projects.
Can I use these databases from home?
Yes! To do so, you’ll need to know the usernames and passwords.
You can find these on the BBS in the “Database Passwords” folder (which is in the "Educational" folder) .
EBSCO
