A Library Resources Update!

 

Thanks to the Illinois State Library, scholarly sources (including eBooks) offered through the EBSCO database have greatly expanded.

In addition to a larger collection, the EBSCO interface has gotten a make-over, making it easier to navigate and find what you are looking for. Check out the new and improved site, and reach out to us if you have any questions.
