NCWise Owl has made some major changes in the resources they have provided for years. These changes are due to a new demand for eBooks and source images and the overlapping of information available in the current resources. Below is a summary of the new additions to the WiseOwl collection of resources:
eBooks
The K-8 Collection contains nearly 4,800 titles, and the High School Collection includes nearly 5,100 titles, with new titles added to each collection quarterly. Both collections include content that spans all academic subjects and incorporates selections of classic literary works, important historical documents, and general reference works.
The content in both eBook collections is downloadable to a variety of devices. Chapters may be transferred to Kindles, iPads and other e-readers. Users also have the ability to search alongside other EBSCO content, adding magazines, journals and other EBSCO resources to their results.
AP Images
The AP Images Collection is a primary source database with millions of images from 1826 to the present, and more than 3,500 additionalphotographs are added daily. The collection also includes 36,400 audio sound bytes dating from the 1920s, and more than 2,900 multimedia interactives. The multimedia interactives represent a compilation of integrated video, graphics and photos that bring the latest news and educational topics to life. In addition, AP Images Collection provides 2.7 million Associated Press news stories from 1997 to the present, and a professionally produced collection of more than 340,000 maps, graphs, charts, logos, flags and illustrations.
