Databases
Databases are excellent sources of reputable information. Many databases offer scholarly articles that are great for school projects or research, and other databases offer things like newspapers and ebooks. Databases cost money to subscribe, because the information is accurate and can’t be found on Google, but you get them for FREE courtesy of the Rutherford Public Library, BCCLS, and the NJ State Library.
