EBSCOhost is the college research database currently in use at most U.S. universities. To train our students on it is to prepare them for college research.
EBSCO has created an aligned system of databases to help students learn about research from the earliest ages.
See Searchasaurus for elementary students, Kids Search for middle and upper elementary school, and the Student Research Center for middle and high school. Each database is available in many languages, including Spanish.
