EBSCOhost at ASP!

It turns out the school has an existing subscription to EBSCOhost for each grade level as well separate access accounts for parents and teachers. The school is part of the EBSCOhost consortium because it is an ASOMEX school. Although the school has had the subscription for three years, it has not really been used or promoted. EBSCOhost has several advantage for the school:

• qualitative and comprehensive articles and information that are both current and historical
  
• it has boosted our periodical collection from nothing to over 2000 (not all are full-text, but many are)
• several age-appropriate encyclopedias and dictionary
• increases our collection with reports, books and other primary sources
• gives our library a virtual 24/7 presence
  
• provides an authoritative, comprehensive and accessible online alternative to the Internet

Besides students, teachers who are doing their Buffalo State masters degree by distance at our school will now have quick access to current research articles for their studies from the educational databases in EBSCOhost.
