Big Chalk eLibrary


eLibrary - Free and awesome!

ELibrary is my personal favorite. It has cute little icons that tell you where the resource is coming from. It allows you to list your findings chronologically (although only from most recent which is no fun). It has transcripts of just about every broadcast NPR has ever had. The subject search is very effective. There are many wonderful things about this database.
Most of the databases we have access to have articles from the mid-80s on. So if you are looking for primary resources, you are going to be better served by the web or more historical databases that I will get to later on.
But for anything post 1980's - eLibrary is the place I go first.
