SIRS databases fill these needs. Researcher's comprehensive full-text articles are selected with the interests and concerns of citizens in mind. Readers can access many sources they might not otherwise encounter.
Topics range from family, health and business to economics, world affairs, science and government.
Three search methods ensure that patrons can both browse and perform targeted searches. Discoverer introduces younger patrons and those for whom English is a second language to the research process. Filled with interesting articles and graphics, Discoverer's interface is easy enough for kids to use with minimal guidance from parents and librarians. Young users will enjoy researching class assignments. Biographies, craft activities, science projects, maps and state facts enhance the database.
