VOL science databases

Great science resources

The Vermont Online Library (VOL) includes some science databases that would be an excellent place to start your search for resources.

These are good starting points for almost any science fair project:


Science in Context	General Science Collection
"Science in Context is an engaging online resource providing contextual information on hundreds of today's most significant science topics. By integrating authoritative, curriculum-aligned reference content with headlines and videos, Science in Context draws students into the subject matter, showing how scientific disciplines relate to real-world issues, from weather patterns to obesity."	"General Science Collection provides access to scholarly journals and magazines covering the latest scientific developments. Key subjects covered by the database include biological sciences, computing, engineering, and technology."

These databases might be useful, depending on your project:


Psychology Collection	Environmental Studies and Policy Collection
"Psychology Collection provides access to academic journals and magazines that cover the study of emotions, personality, and the human mind. The database offers content of interest to both researchers and general users."	"Environmental Studies and Policy Collection provides access to scholarly journals, magazines, and other reference sources covering environmental issues and policies. The database includes diverse perspectives from the scientific community, governmental policymakers, and corporate interests."
