CCI has purchased these first four databases for you to use for your research. You will need a password to log in.
Password info for all of CCI's online resources can be found by using the ONE password listed in your student agenda to open the "Passwords" page on the navigation menu above. Ask your teacher or teacher-librarian for help with logging in if you need it.
Canada in Context
Your "go-to" database for all things Canadian (current events, people, history, places, etc.) |
Opposing Viewpoint in Context
This is the database to use if you are looking for current events, controversial issues, opposing viewpoints on important topics. Good for all subject areas. |
Science in Context
A good place to start if you are researching a science, social science and some physical education topics. |
Literature Resource Center
This is the database to start with when you are looking for information on authors, literature, drama, etc. |
Search all three of the In Context databases at the same time using the Power Search page
(Does not include Literature Resource Center) |
The Digital Public Library of America
The DPLA portal allows you to search hundreds of American library and museum collections for digital objects such as images, sound and video files, texts, etc. all from one search environment. This is a great place to start your search for primary sources about any American topic from baseball to the Civil Rights Movement! 
Statistics Canada resources for students
