We have Academic Databases!
I have included the list and login information for the digital subscriptions we provide through the HHS LMC. These are great resources that are credible and reliable for our students to use in their research and creation of academic products. Please feel free to ask if you need help searching or would like a mini lesson taught in class for your students.
