Need to do some serious research? Justice Public Library subscribes to these databases to help you... We subscribe to a wide variety of databases from Gale Group, World Book, Grolier and EBSCO to help you access articles and information on many subjects. These databases cover everything from articles to help with school research projects (all ages) to small business information, health, gardening, cooking, fine arts and of course, books and authors. You can customize your searches to retrieve full text articles, images, encyclopedia articles, maps, book reviews and more! Justice Public Library patrons can access these databases from any computer that has Internet access by using the link below. For each link you will need to enter your library card number (the number directly beneath the barcode - omit spaces and letters) and, if requested, your password (your last name). Give it a try: JPL Databases
Looking for a new author to try? Try NoveList! NoveList is a fiction database that provides reviews, searches, and more. You can find books by genre, search for your favorite authors, find series information (in order!), search for similar books to your favorites and even search for a book by describing the plot! To access NoveList, go to EBSCO Publishing and log in. (Stop in or call the library for the login info.) Then click the link for NoveList or NoveList K-8 (children's books).
Looking for a book or other item and can't find it in our library system? You can search libraries all over the state using OCLC FirstSearch! Go to OCLC FirstSearch and log in using the authorization number and password located below the expiration date on your Justice Public Library card. Once you log in, you need to select a database. WorldCat will have everything that most people will ever need to look for, so start with that. Then type in a title, author, etc., and click Search. (You'll be able to limit your search to narrow the results on the next page or by clicking Advanced Search.) If you find the item you were searching for you may request it through our library if you have a Justice Public Library card. (PLEASE NOTE: We can only request material from libraries in Illinois.) Call or stop in at the library to place your request. Please see our Interlibrary Loan Policy for details on timing, renewals, fees, etc. Most in-state loans are free.
Are you (or do you know) someone who is unable to read standard printed material due to a disability? RAILS provides Talking Books Services for our area through Voices of Vision.
