Research Resources

Google is NOT the place to go for school research! Use our research databases located here. All the articles from databases are written by experts, AND they will include a full MLA citation!

You can access these resources 24/7 from home or school!

Online Databases

From school, no login required.
From home, email your teacher or trudy.griebenow@d11.org for login and password.
