EBSCO
EBSCO provides articles from academic journals as well as content from encyclopedias, magazines, newspapers, and other primary sources. Content covers a variety of curriculum-related topics and is recommended for students in grades 7-12. Great for topics related to language and literacy, science, technology, communities, history, geography, and more!
EBSCO recognizes UGDSB staff and students automatically, so no need to enter a username or password. To access EBSCO, navigate to the student UGCloud landing page - the site should automatically sign you in.
Key features
Natural language search
Natural Language Search (NLS) is powered by AI and allows users to search using everyday language rather than specific keywords, Boolean operators, etc. Under the search bar on the homepage, click the slider beside "Natural language search" to enable.
French translation
Much of the content in EBSCO can be translated to French and other languages. On a document page, click on the globe icon in the upper right-hand corner. Select a language from the drop-down menu under "Translation" to apply.
Peer Reviewed filter
EBSCO includes articles from peer reviewed academic journals, which can be prioritized while searching on different topics. Under the search bar, click the box labelled "Peer Reviewed" to show only these search results.
