Library Research Databases

The Kilmer MS Library provides access to a large number of databases for student and staff research. Access to the databases should be seemless while on site at Kilmer, however, most of the databases require passwords for remote access. The database passwords are listed on each student's Blackboard account, under Kilmer Middle School Library.

Questions about using the Databases? Contact us!
