Links to Student Research Lists (SDSL Databases)

-


To accommodate access, librarians can link specific databases to their websites, blogs, online newsletters, OPACs, etc. Visit Technical Help on our Resource Guides to copy/paste those unique URLs.

The State Library has also categorized the K-12 databases into elementary, middle, and high. 

DIRECT LINKS TO STUDENT RESEARCH LISTS

Use our age-appropriate Student Research Lists when linking on your library or school websites, blogs, digital newsletters, etc. These lists are curated just for these age groups and they provide quicker and more customized access for students.

FREE 24/7 ACCESS, THREE WAYS

QUICKEST & EASIEST 

Instantly anywhere with the physical borders of South Dakota through nifty IP tracking technology called GeoIP.

QUICK BUT DEVICE SPECIFIC

Instantly at school with registered school devices. If new devices have been purchased, it's likely SDSL will need the new IP range from your school. Contact Kim Bonen for that.

HANDY WHEN TRAVELING OUT OF STATE

Each school has an SDSL ecard. Students, parents, and staff are able to use those login credentials to access most of the databases when out of state. Those credentials can also be used if GeoIP ever fails (which it hasn't yet in over two years!). Just ask your librarian or contact the State Library for those credentials. *You are free to give your barcode and password out to students, teachers, & parents; however, we ask that you do not post it anywhere online, as that would violate our vendor contracts and lead to possible termination of databases.
