EBSCO Resources for Homework Help & School Support

It’s back-to-school season, so let's celebrate the ways in which EBSCO resources provide homework help and support for students. We will review the abundance of EBSCO databases and interfaces for student research including the K12-focused Explora interface, essential databases including Primary Search, Middle Search Plus, and MAS Ultra- School Edition, and EBSCO’s extensive collection of eBooks. We will cover basic and advanced search strategies, and review custom tools and functionality like Lexile limiters, the citation tool, curriculum standards, and COPPA-compliant personal folders to organize student research.
