Library's New Databases
Greenville Public Library's Warren Richards reminds everyone “The quest
for more knowledge doesn’t have to stop just because your local library
is closed. There are many new database options available that we would
like to highlight for our patrons. These resources can be accessed via
our website www.greenville-publiclibrary.org/services by selecting
“Ohio Web Library (OWL)” under “Web Resources.”
“We were especially excited to add these new editions to the collection
beginning on June 1st. There is a total of seven categories within the
OWL Database and their contents range broadly, from “Continued
Learning” to “Business Support” to “Genealogy” and more! Perhaps the
best feature of this database is that these resources are completely
FREE to our patrons!
“Curious to know more about the opposing viewpoints of an issue? Check
out the “Points of View Reference Center” for presentations on multiple
sides of an argument. This database is a great tool for information
seekers of all ages and is made available to help patrons develop
persuasive arguments and analytical thinking skills.
“Most people are familiar with the Ancestry database, but many are
unaware that we also provide access to OWL’s specialized databases as
well. The African American Heritage resource allows patrons to find
historical records specific to African Americans. Fold3 is a
compilation of U.S. military records that aids in bringing to life the
details of military veterans and many other special features related to
America’s military. Heritage Quest allows patrons to search census
records and other historical documents to help aid them in the study of
genealogy.
“There is also a wide range of Do It Yourself (DIY) and Homework Help
resources available that cover a broad range of subjects. Some subjects
available include “What’s that Snake?”, “Home Improvement”, and
“Hobbies.” Additionally, access is also provided to the Chilton’s
database, an instructional guide for answering many of your
auto-related questions. Chilton can even help you get an idea on what
certain repairs might cost for your specific vehicle.”
The staff at Greenville Public Library are available by phone to help
with finding the right resources you need, whether you are a life-long
learner or student just new to the system. Please call 937-548-8372 for
more assistance on these Free databases.
