EBSCOhost

EBSCOhost is a collection of databases provided by EBSCO and funded through a statewide contract with BadgerLink.  Most databases reference collections of magazine articles or newspaper articles, each with a different focus.  You may search all databases, or use only the collection that interests you by connecting to individual collections below.  A few EBSCO products have different search functions and interfaces due to the nature of the content.  Content includes Auto Repair Source auto service and repair information, Business Source Premier, Consumer Health Complete, ERIC, MasterFILE Complete, MEDLINE and much more.
