Instead of searching the entire site, here are some parts of our site which may hold what you seek:
Reference Desk
The Reference Desk features links to many online resources selected by B&ECPL librarians. The sites were chosen for their quality, usefulness, and/or breadth of information. Many of the sites are gateways to further research on a topic. Go to the Reference Desk...
Libraries
The Libraries section contains details on all 52 Library facilities, including addresses, hours, services and interactive maps of each location. Go to Libraries...
Databases
A database is a collection of specialized information available via a computer. This information is arranged for ease and speed of retrieval, and allows you to search for items like journal or newspaper articles, reference book excerpts and historical documents. Databases are sold by subscription to libraries and other institutions much like magazine subscriptions are. They are usually geared to a specific topic of interest such as business, literature or history. The B&ECPL subscribes to over 50 databases for your use and convenience, many of which you can use from home, as well as at the library. Go to Databases...
AskUs
There are some questions with which a librarian can efficiently help find an answer. Toward this end, we developed AskUs, an online reference service. Go to AskUs...
There is a more complete list of content areas at the Sitemap...
