Hamilton Heights High School Library

The Hamilton Heights Media Center subscribes to several databases. Each has slightly different information or ways of searching, so it is a good idea to check out several to see which you like best and which gives you the best results. Remember, the best search tool to use is the one that gives you the information you need for that particular topic. Different tools are better for different tasks. Take the time to learn which tools to use!


This is a very large collection of several databases including EBSCO Host and the Biography Resource Center. Think of it like a shopping mall with several "stores" to shop for information. Easily accessed from home.



The Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center offers articles supporting both sides of controversial issues. If you are writing a persuasive paper or speech, this is a great source. (Requires password for access away from school.)


Newsbank is a large collection of full-text articles from over 2,000 newspaper and magazine sources. Special features include both a subject and keyword search. (Requires password for access away from school.)


A large collection of current event articles, statistics, etc. about various countries around the world..
