The database articles, journal entries and all text items will have a reading level key to indicate the level of understanding expected. Videos should be able to be resized and controlled normally.

Britannica online encyclopedia is the best database for accessing information on a range of subjects. This database should be used for students that are unsure where to start and need to learn more about a topic before entering into some of the higher level databases.
