Today, I'll be talking about how to find reputable references from peer-reviewed journals for free online. (The term "peer-reviewed" refers to the review process that some academic or scientific articles go through. Basically, when something is "peer-reviewed", it has been read by numerous experts in the field, who look for errors and possible biases.)
While all the databases within the umbrella work similarly, there are two search options (within the EBSCOhost umbrella) that are likely to be the most useful to you as a secondary student. One is called Explora: Secondary Schools. The other is Academic Search Premier. (Both are available to you with or without your library card through LiLI.org.)
SEARCH TACTICS FOR BOTH

Hopefully, this helps you find what you need for your next big research project! If this raises more questions for you about using the library's electronic databases, please let me know in the comments below, and I'll try to address them.
