Online Databases
Online Subscription Databases & eBook Collections
Our online databases connect teachers and students with research-based journal articles, magazine articles, newspaper articles, encyclopedia articles, online biographies, videos, image libraries, reliable websites, and a variety of eBooks.
Students are also encouraged to get a Louisville Free Public Library card and username so they can access all of their databases, many of which we use regularly for school projects!
Students may access our databases using the links listed below, but will need to have the usernames and passwords available on Student SharePoint.
