Now Available: Four New UDLib/SEARCH Trial Databases!

We are excited to present four new UDLib/SEARCH  trial databases: Capstone Interactive, PebbleGo Next, PebbleGo Read More, and World Book Early Learning!  Access to all  four database collections can be found on the UDLib/SEARCH Trial Databases Page.

Capstone Interactive is a collection of more than 3,000 ebooks.  The books include fiction and nonfiction.  They cover all subjects and all grade levels.  The heaviest concentration of titles is for elementary school.  Middle school coverage is moderate, and there is a small segment of content for reluctant high school readers.  Books can be read offline using an iTunes app.  (Trial Period: 2/17/20 – 6/15/20)

PebbleGo Next provides 3rd – 5th grade students with content designed for their specific needs.  PebbleGo Next includes an array of topics: Biographies, Science, Social Studies, State Studies, and American Indian History.  These databases engage upper elementary students with subject matter created for and correlated to state & national curriculum standards.  (Trial Period: 2/17/20 – 6/15/20)

PebbleGo Read More provides 750 new ebooks at the K – 2nd grade level.  These ebooks are found within the “Read More” tab in every article in PebbleGo Animals and PebbleGo Science. (Trial Period: 2/17/20 – 6/15/20)

World Book Early Learning contains over 125 videos and more than 350 photos.  Through gamification, users can practice problem solving and critical thinking while absorbing information about a topic through active learning.  World Book Early Learning contains stories in English and Spanish, nursery rhymes, and songs.  In addition, there are 400 activities such as coloring, paint by number, connecting-the-dots, and more.  These activities are accessible online and are also printable.  (Trial Period: 2/17/20 – 3/31/20)
