Accessing online databases

Follow these steps to access dozens of online databases

1. Go to the Thames Valley site and select "Students" from the menu bar
2. Select "Student Resources"
3. Look at the links in the left-hand menu bar and select one of the following
   1. "eLibrary - main Portal" for access to "Curriculum Edition Canada" and other databases—e.g. CPI.Q is a Canadian periodicals database. If accessing from home: username = research; password = bigchalk
   2. "Knowledge Ontario - Gale & Thomson" contains 36 databases and allows a search through more than 73 million documents: password "trillium"
   3. "Knowledge Ontario EBSCO," which leads to "Student Research Centre" or "EBSCOhost" (not sure yet if you can access this from home)
