databases

This is a list of the online databases that you can use at Cooper. See Ms. Herman if you need our school unit code or if you have any other problems. Be sure to cite where your information is coming from. Databases contain articles from encyclopedias, magazines, journals, and websites compiled in a searchable online format. The following databases have materials written for a variety of reading levels. Unlike other websites you may encounter on the web, you will be able to find information written at a level you can understand that comes from an authoritative source. While you do have to enter a password to use these databases, it is still a fast way to find quality reference materials online. Databases are great for classroom research projects! We also have access to www.spanish.eb.com which is the first database but in Spanish.
