EBSCOhost
As of July 1, the library will no longer have access to the EBSCOhost suite of databases, including a magazine and journal index. Goffstown High school students will still have access through the media center, so homework assistance will be maintained. The NH State Library is discontinuing the subscription due to declining usage, and it is unaffordable otherwise. We will still have access to NoveList and NoveList K-8. Please let us know if you have questions.
