The Librarian's Brain

The Librarian’s Brain is a place to learn about the Las Vegas – Clark County Library’s databases. We will provide updates to the databases, about new databases added to the collection, how to use them and how to select the best database to answer your questions or help with your homework. To access the databases  you will need a library card and live in the LVCCLD taxing district (except for Statewide Databases just need a library card).

The Databases can be accessed several ways.

• Databases A-Z – This is a alphabetical list of all our databases.
• Infoguides - Combines Databases and websites about a subject together in one place. Students and teachers will find the “Education” section especially useful.
• Kids Databases A-Z – This is especially designed for younger students.  We have only selected databases for their reading level and subject area. It also searches only the children’s collection in the Library Catalog. Use this instead of Google and you will get your homework done faster!
• Homework Help Website – contains selected databases and ’safe’ websites by grade level and subject area.
• Statewide Databases – these databases are available to all residents of Nevada who have a library card from a Nevada library.
• Look for links within the articles to individual databases.

All links above can be found on the right hand side bar of this blog.

Endorsement of databases and websites found in this blog are done by Las Vegas – Clark County Library District staff and no material gain was given for these endorsements. Recommendations are done based on the Librarian’s training and experience with the databases and websites.
