All the online resources are available to you from this page without cost.

The subscription databases have been selected and evaluated by professional librarians. The information comes from authoritative sources, and is updated regularly. We recommend starting your search here rather than conducting a general search on the Internet, or using one of many popular search engines that do not evaluate or check the information they post for accuracy or currency.

Some online resources are provided through links from educational partners such as the Florida Electronic Library, Nova Southeastern University’s Alvin Sherman Library (NSU), or from a staff-evaluated web site from a government agency or non-profit organization.

To access the Nova Southeastern University databases you must have a NSU library card, available free if you live, work, or attend school in Broward County. Apply online for a NSU library card, or ask for a NSU library card application form at your local Broward County Library branch.

To access the Broward County Library databases or the Florida Electronic Library databases, you need to enter your Broward County Library (BCL) card. Apply online for a Broward County Library card or ask for a BCL card application at your local branch.

For more information or assistance in using any of these online resources, contact your local library.
