Content Summary: Students can easily pre-determine which content sources (e.g., Magazines, Newspapers, Biographies, Country Reports, Film & Video) will be included with their search. They can also search their databases by topic heading, use an online dictionary and encyclopedia, explore the top searches of the day, and even limit their search according to appropriate Lexile reading levels. Retrieved from: http://accc.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/mtndatabases/?rm=ONLINE+DATABAS10%7C%7C%7C1%7C%7C%7C0%7C%7C%7Ctrue
