However, the encyclopedia and databases below are constantly being checked to ensure they are reliable, accurate, and up-to-date. The time you spend searching will be diminished and you will find articles written by experts in their field.   In a word: excellent ...and you'll never have to deal with annoying pop-ups or advertisements.  
 
Here are just a FEW examples of the the online resources available to you.  You will have access from any school computer.  See Mrs. Harrison for passwords to use at home.
