These sources provide access to published
material from journals, magazines, newspapers, encyclopedias, reference
books and government collections. Because of dedicated search tools and indexed materials,
subscription databases provide a greater chance that you will find accurate and relevant information
in your search than if you use a general search engine on the world-wide web.
Students and staff of Belmont High School have access to the databases listed here, many made available through the New Hampshire State Library.
From computers on campus, users should be able to access most resources without a username or password. Students and staff can access these
databases at home with the correct login information, which can be acquired at the library circulation desk.
