Student Resources Once you have logged into Blackboard, click on the Student Resources tab at the top of the screen.

Student Resources There are more than 20 different services available to help students explore and build knowledge. Let’s find out how they can be used.

LIBRARIES You will not have to go anywhere or worry about closing time to get information from these electronic libraries. eLibrary Curriculum Edition gives you accurate, comprehensive answers on any subject from thousands of books, magazines, websites, videos, and more. eLibrary Science makes complex science subjects easier with interactive simulations, video, demos, encyclopedias, full-text articles, and multimedia-rich websites. The BCPSS Library Catalog gives you access to any school library in the district. You can also go to the Library of Congress, the largest library in the world, with millions of books, recordings, photographs, maps and manuscripts in its collections.

ENCYLCOPEDIAS You will also find a collection of electronic encyclopedias in Student Resources. SIRS Discoverer is geared to the younger learner and offers Animals, arts, science, or sports—whatever the topic, it makes research a blast with books, magazines, videos, pictures, websites, and more. SIRS Knowledge Source provides a portal to relevant, credible information carefully hand-selected by the SIRS editorial staff, so there is no need to worry about inappropriate content. It contains thousands of full-text articles and resources exploring social, scientific, health, historic, economic, political, global arts and humanities issues. MicroSoft’s encyclopedia Encarta and all of it’s content is available for free. ProQuest Platinum is great for all types of school projects and qustions, with full-text magazine, journal and newspaper articles on any topic.

Culture Grams is a site that lets you see the world’s people as they really live with country reports that go beyond mere facts and figures to deliver a local perspective on daily life, history and culture. History Study Center explores 14 centuries of history—from ancient to modern, old world to new world—in one place with Study Pages that cover the most-studied topics. ProQuest Historical Newspapers lets you picture the past through more than 150 years of The New York Times—from the advertisements and cartoons to the opinions and news published since 1851. 100 documents is a site that helps you to think, talk and teach about the rights and responsibilitites of citizens in our democracy. You can explore the 100 milestone documents of American history.
