The Mont Vernon Village School subscribes to several outstanding online resources.

Why use these resources? Why can't I just "google" the answer?  

That is a great question.  Google is a valuable and effective search engine. But sometimes when you are looking for information, using google results in thousands and thousands of websites.  You then have to weed through the web sites, and decide which information you can trust. This takes time and practice.  Using the MVVS online databases and encyclopedias ensures you get accurate information with the first search!

Ebsohost is a resource provided by the state of NH for all public libraries and schools.  This resource contains Novelist K-8 (for primarily finding fiction books) and Searchasaurus (a school age encyclopedia). In addition, Ebsco links students to hundreds of periodicals and magazines online.

World Book Web is one of the leading online encyclopedias available for schools.  There are five different resources available for students (based on age). World Book also has an audio feature which enables students to 'listen' to the article while they read it.  World Book also helps students create a bibliography for research.  Purchased by SAU 39
