Library databases contain articles from published works, such as newspapers, scholarly journals, magazines, encyclopedias, and other reference sources. The articles are written by professionals who must have their facts checked upon publication. All the information you need for your bibliography is included in each article. Even if your teacher will not accept an Internet source, s/he will likely accept an article you accessed from one of our databases.
The Nanuet Public Library subscribes to many databases you can access from home at any time. Our databases, along with lists of helpful websites, are arranged by subject. Just click on the database you want, type in the number on the back of your Nanuet Public Library card (without spaces) and you're ready to go! You do not need your library card to access websites.
