Online Article Searches and Databases with EBSCO

The New Hampshire State Library provides New Hampshire’s libraries with access to online database products to assist them in their mission of meeting the information needs of the people they serve. Through EBSCO, every public library in the state has access to the same core resources. In many cases, these resources are also available to NH residents at home as well.
