What are Research Tools?
Research Tools are databases that are selected by Monroe County Public Library staff and paid for with your tax dollars. Your Monroe County Public Library card grants you access to these databases from your home, office or school. They offer a collection of information, organized and searchable to help you get the information you need quickly and efficiently.
Our license agreements with the database providers restrict access to patrons holding a valid Monroe County Public Library card. A few databases are restricted to patons that are either at the Main Library or the Ellettsville Branch. By entering your card number you agree to use the databases for your personal use only. You may not lend your card number or provide access to the database to anyone else.
