Using Primary Search
A Database within EbscoHost
What is Primary Search?
While it is a great resource for our students, it is invaluable for teachers in their search for age and level appropriate informational texts. Some of the features include the ability to translate the articles, have the articles read aloud, and more.
Gaining Access
1. From within the school district (using district credentials), click on the Digital Prairie link under Online Academic Resources. Once there, clicking on EbscoHost will allow you to choose Primary Search to begin looking for resources.
2. Outside of the district (using Metrolibrary credentials), navigate to the Metrolibrary.org homepage and click the tab marked Research. Click "P" to narrow the list of possible databases and choose Primary Search.
3. Use OSU credentials to sign in and access the database from the OSU Library. Navigate to the library homepage, click on Search & Find and choose databases. Click on "P" to narrow the list of choices and choose Primary Search.
