Supplementary E-Resources

The JKM Library maintains a growing selection of electronic resources to support your research activities, all accessible with your OpenAthens login.

As a member of CARLI, and thanks to grants from the State of Illinois obtained through the Illinois State Library, JKM also offers a range of other electronic resources that may be helpful to our patrons and their families.

Read a book or magazine for fun, keep up with the news, help your children with their school work, pick up a hobby, and find out all sorts of things you want or need to know!

The resources linked on this page are accessible through the standard EBSCO search interface, and can be searched together with the curricular resources we have from EBSCO.

Some of these resources also have their own new topic search interface. Look for the links that say "EBSCO Explora," and try it out!

We also have other resources that are not accessible through EBSCO search:

These can be accessed from our Services Selection Page.

School-Age Resources

All of our school-age resources from EBSCO have the ability to select desired reading level (sometimes called "Lexile scores"). This is available as a drop-down menu in the "filters" section underneath the search bar.

Please note that reading level scores are not designed to set a ceiling on what children can understand. It is good for children to try to understand material written above the reading level that may be assigned them—and you can help your child learn things they do not yet understand.
