Library resources for student projects
The following are provided for student research at school and may also be accessed from home. They are great places to go for many research projects.
Ø EBSCO - Thousands of full-text magazine and newspaper articles,with databases which can be searched simultaneously. username: oslis password: high
Ø Oregonian (1988 – current) - Includes newspaper articles from 1988 to present, but currently contains only articles written by the Oregonian staff. Others are expected to be available once a copyright issue is cleared. Articles can be searched by keywords. This program is different from Oregon Online in that it has news articles back to 1988 and is searchable by keyword. username: oslis password: oregon
Ø Grolier Online - This program currently will not work from home, but will be available at a later date. It includes three online encyclopedias with links from articles to quality internet sites on the same topic.
These resources may be reached by searching on google.com for “Corvallis High School Library” or at http://www2.corvallis.k12.or.us/chs/services/library
