Magazines, Journals, Encyclopedias, Newspapers, Genealogy
As a Durham Public Library card holder, you have access to a number of online databases provided by the New Hampshire State Library.
Online databases are great resources for:
- Homework study
- Business research
- Medical questions
- Retrieving newspaper and magazine articles.
Unlike searching the internet, these databases contain articles that were originally in print. They are authoritative and current and can make your search for information quick and easy.
Please call the library if you have any questions about using the databases.
Note: To access, click on the database logo. Databases will open in a new window. Use your full 14 digit library card number as your password.
