Research/Resources


Academic Databases provide access to information that is relevant, current, and credible. Using a database is much more efficient than general web searching because you don't have to evaluate whether or not the information is from a respected source. If you are going to do general web searching, use this website evaluation checklist.

 

 

 

NOTE: When accessing all databases from a home or non-MUHSD location, please refer to the Database Passwords Document for passwords. You must be signed in to your MUHSD account to view the doc.
