Electronic Databases
Databases are reliable electronic research
tools that are provided to our patrons free of charge. They
are reliable sources of current information to research a
number of topics, both for personal use and for academic use.
Our databases cover a range of topics: health, news, history,
biography, science, and art. Information found in these
sources is from newspapers, journals and magazines,
encyclopedias and other highly reliable sources. These
databases are provided through state, regional, and local
funds.

Web Directory
Our web directory is a collection of
websites found on the World Wide Web. We have made every
effort to select sites that we feel are maintained by
reputable sources. However, the Jacob Edwards Library does
not endorse or attempt to ensure that the information
contained on in these sites is accurate. We simply provide
this directory as a guide to our patrons.

Local History & Genealogy
The Holmes Ammidown Room contains the
historical collection of the Library. The Reference
Department maintains this collection. The Ammidown Collection
is a non-browsing collection; access to this collection is by
appointment only.

Community Information On-Line
The C/W MARS Community Information Online
database includes searchable listings for agencies, services,
and organizations that serve a significant public need within
our communities. Our goal is to provide users with
comprehensive and confidential referrals that meet their
specific needs or interests. Our Reference Department is an
active participant and submits entries to this valuable
community information resource on an on-going basis. If your
organization is not currently listed in the Community
Information Database, please see the Reference Staff to make a
submission.
