Searching the Internet has never been more informative or fun. But when you’re doing serious research, you may encounter problems. Is the information you’re getting factual? Are the links current or pages expired? Are you able to go directly to the source, or do you need to “find your way in” to articles through other websites. Perhaps most importantly, do you have to pay to access certain sources? With your Naperville Library Card in hand, you now have access to a world of information. Our collection of online databases gives you direct and FREE access to information from dozens of trusted sources—Morningstar, the Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine and Consumer Reports to name just a few.
