Encyclopedias and Dictionaries

Authoritative encyclopedias and dictionaries are often behind paywalls. This is another area where your local public library or school library media center may be of assistance. Most libraries offer access to research databases. These databases usually include subscriptions to encyclopedias and dictionaries. These resources are often available simply by asking your librarian for the password, but some libraries may require you to sign-up for a library card first.

Online Books

So, maybe it’s been a while since you’ve visited the public library. Libraries are changing. Most offer free access to thousands of audiobooks, e-books, and magazines. You’ll find the latest releases in addition to strong core collections with the classics, business titles, and more. Check with your local public library for information about how to access these resources.

Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.
