EHSS LIBRARY – SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES:
Remember not everything on the web is free. A huge amount of information is found in subscription databases ( news/magazine/journals, e-books, specialized encyclopedias). We also subscribe to services to help you with taking notes and formatting lists of your sources. Don’t shortchange yourself by just using the free web. Our subscriptions are listed below. Please refer to your student agenda for all usernames and passwords. Find more information on why to use a database, below this table.
