AccessScience

McGraw-Hill’s AccessScience offers a broad array of information on major scientific topics. It contains the contents of the popular reference set the McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology along with other reference works and exclusive articles. Geared to a high school audience, the database portal offers an easy to use interface for the novice searcher. Basic and advanced search as well as browsable content are accessible. The strength of this resource is authoritative content written by experts in both academics and industry. A good deal of the content is written for a higher level audience as noted in previous reviews. Enhancements include videos, images, curriculum maps, and DIY projects. This product has undergone a few redesigns over the years. The current design could use some adjustments to link and button locations, but the clean appearance allows for easy search access. It would be worth reviewing for a school, community college, or public library for its basic search capability and enhanced content.
