Databases are often a better tool for research than doing an open web (or Google) search.
Why? Databases are curated - that means they only include resources that have been carefully selected. Sometimes these resources are chosen specifically to meet your teachers' requirements for research.
Remember: An open web search can include any website that any person anywhere might publish. This may not be a good recipe for finding the useful and reliable information you need for your projects or personal research.
The resources linked on this page are free to use by any New Jersey resident.
