Research Tools : Subscription Databases
| Especially for children | Especially for teens | ||
The Library subscribes to many services, including newspaper, magazine, and encyclopedia article databases, which are not available for free on the Internet. If you have a valid Fresno County Library card, you may use almost all of the following databases from home--click on the "outside the Library" link and enter your card number (10-digits, no spaces). Anyone may use the databases from within Fresno County Library Branches--click on "In Library."
Alternative access
for patrons outside library branches. Use this link if you're outside
the library and will be using more than one database during your session.
