EBSCOhost provides users with a single interface that can be used to search a specific EBSCO database or across multiple databases. Databases indexed through EBSCOhost are shared with BCPS by the Baltimore County Public Library, including MasterFile Premier, MAS Ultra School Edition, MiddleSearch Plus, and Primary Search. EBSCO’s online research databases are powerful tools that can be used by students to access information as they develop critical thinking skills such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Using EBSCO databases and interfaces brings together the AASL’s Standards for the 21st Century Learner with the steps in the research process, which can help to meet the objectives of content curricula and the Common Core. See the Content and Features section below for details about individual EBSCOhost databases.
