Databases

An electronic database is a collection of organized material in digital form. In databases, users can find full-text periodicals, excerpts from books or encyclopedias, or content that was only published electronically.  Hunterdon Central's library subscribes to many specialized databases for student and staff research.  When on-campus, access each database from the links below.  When off-campus, please use the "off-campus access" to retrieve the usernames and passwords for the databases.
