Traveler Databases is a LSTA funded project administered by the Arkansas State Library.  These databases are offered free to the academic, public, special, and school libraries to provide reliable research to their clients and students from the library and at home.  When using Traveler Databases at Bismarck Schools, no username or password is required; however, because these are subscription databases, Traveler Databases do require designated usernames and passwords for remote access (away from the Bismarck campus).   These High School usernames and passwords have been provided to students and teachers.  We encourage all students, teachers, and their families to enjoy and utilize these databases as needed.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  Traveler Databases are considered to be safe sites; however, as with these and any educational or informational websites linked to the Bismarck High School Library Media Center webpages, neither Bismarck High School nor the Bismarck School District is responsible for the content or the upkeep of these linked sites.  As with any website, it is highly recommended that teachers and parents closely monitor students’ usage of all websites, both at school and at home.
