New Databases
Three new databases have been added to the library resources available to Bishop Kelly students.
World History in Context enhances the historical information offerings while using the same interface as the other InContext databases from Gale Publishing. This makes it easier to use while finding information.
Chilton Library represents the most authoritative auto repair information for car owners.
World Religions Online offers facts, video, images and more about the many religions of the world.
When needing facts, maps, images, video, charts, news, journals, or other types of research information, remember that the databases offer the quickest way to reliable, current information.
