Some of the databases are offered through the library s subscription to TexShare Databases. When you have your library card you are eligible to access these databases. Simply ask a librarian for the login credentials. Here is a list of the resources that each block of grades may find most useful. Most of the resources cover multiple grade levels. Keep in mind that while some of the resources may be helpful for students, all could be useful to teachers.
