Research Databases & Electronic Resources

This list includes our electronic resources, subscriptions and authoritative websites. For research, try a database. Download popular titles in eBooks and eAudiobooks and eMagazine formats from Overdrive, Hoopla, and RBdigital.

If you're looking for current, reliable information from a wide variety of resources, including research in specialized subject areas, then try using these Library databases.

A database is an indexed collection of articles and data from sources that include encyclopedias, newspapers, professional & trade journals, popular magazines, and specialty publications. Each one offers a different set of titles, features, and date range of publication. Some articles are provided in full-text, along with images such as photographs or tables; in some cases only a citation is provided.
