=Special Features=

You can create a My eLibrary account, and once you create it, you'll see a screen that says, "Welcome to My eLibrary." You'll find links at the top, such as: My eLibrary Home, Saved Notes, Saved Lists, Saved Slideshows, Saved Timelines, Account Details, and Change Theme. Anything you search can be added to My List but the My List is temporary. However, you can save the List to My eLibrary and click save.

When performing a search under the "Search" tab, you can search for newspapers, magazines, books, maps, websites, pictures, audio/video, and transcripts. However, if you are looking for something specific, you can check off the specific item that you want to search. For example, if you search "Twilight,' many different sources will come up. Under the "General" tab, for newspapers, there are 62 results; 48 for pictures; 211 for magazines; 0 for maps, 20 for books; 3 for audio/video; 2 for websites; and 54 for transcripts. Under the "Literature" tab, you'll find 1 result for reference; 5 for criticism; and 5 for literature. Under the "History" tab, you'll find 3 results for study units; 10 results for historical documents; 10 results for maps and reference; 3 for multimedia; and 10 for journals.

When performing a search under the tab "Topics," you can browse under Arts, History, Mathematics, Reference, Science, English Language Arts, Physical Education & Sports, and Social Sciences. For example, we searched "Algebra" and we got 10 results. If you click, "Show topic path(s)" on one of the topics, you'll see a drop down list. For instance, under "Introduction to Algebra" it'll say "__Mathematics__ > __Algebra__" and by clicking on that, you'll be redirected to a page that has Advanced Topics, Functions & Relations, Introduction to Algebra, Polynomials, Analytic Geometry, Irrational & Complex Numbers, and Tutorial/Practice.

When searching under the tab "Publications," you can search for newspapers, magazines, books, maps, pictures, audio/video, transcripts or any type. You can also search by name, by type, or by subject. We search "times" under magazines, and we received results for the letters A, C, D, E, M, N, U, and V such as Arkansas Times, Capital Times (Madison, WI), Civil War Times Illustrated and more.

Under the "Reference" tab, you can search in the dictionary, thesaurus, encyclopedia, almanac, atlas, and other. We searched "space" and we received 28 results for dictionary, 0 results for thesaurus, 33 results for encyclopedia, 7 results for almanac, 0 results for atlas, and 7 results for other. For instance, the first result "Space Technology 1995: the Hubble Gets 20/20 Vision" from the World Book Science Year.
