Have research to do?
Check out our helpful databases appropriate for kids of all ages, parents, and teachers. You can also view a complete list of all the databases to which GCLS subscribes.
Explora contains complete articles from dozens of the most popular elementary school magazines. All complete articles are assigned reading-level indicators (Lexiles®), and many articles are available in color PDF. You’ll also find easy-to-read encyclopedia entries written specifically for kids and more than one million images of photos, maps and flags!
World Almanac for Kids: This is the online database version of the World Almanac for Kids, the best-selling reference book for kids.
Curriculum Resource Center: For middle school, high school, and junior college teachers and students seeking material to supplement their coursework in core subject areas.
Please note: Some subscription databases cannot be accessed from home due to special requirements by our database vendors and can only be used in the library. Also, databases accessed within the libraries do not require a GCLS library card number.
