ARTICLES FROM NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES
Up to date articles can be accessed from home or in the library via EBSCOhost. In addition OMNISelect is a database of select full-text articles from magazines indexed in the Wilson indexes (Humanities; Social Sciences; Education; Art; Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature), especially useful for college students or upper high schoolers looking for more academic or scholarly journals. A library card with the Mercer County Library System is required to access these databases. 
In the library, patrons can have a librarian assist them with Lexis/Nexis– a premier database for legal information, full-text articles, radio and television transcripts, and company information.
