Online databases open up the world of periodicals: magazines, academic and professional journals, and newspapers. These databases allow searching by subject, title, author, etc. One search can cover thousands of periodicals. See the information page for any database to get information about its scope and the periodicals covered. 

We also have databases that make special kinds of information available, such as car repair schematics, foreign language tutorials, and collectibles' market values. Explore the rich resources awaiting you by going to Databases - by Category.

Databases are provided by the TexShare program of the Texas State Library and the Round Rock Public Library System.  You may use your valid library card to access them from home.  Please contact the library at (512) 218-7000 if you have any difficulties or check the Remote Access FAQ.
