NC WiseOwl’s mission is to ensure that all public and charter school students have access to a collection of online resources to use for research projects and homework assignments. The beauty about this online database is that it contains quality access to thousands of magazines, online encyclopedias and references sources.
The World Wide Web was never intended as a k-12 educational tool, however with NC WiseOwl students can safely search age appropriate information.
In addition to Encyclopedia Britannica and Grolier Online there are also links dedicated to concentrated subject areas like math, science and literature.

Additionally, NC WiseOwl contains e- Books. 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include content that spans all academic subjects and incorporates selections of classic literary works, important historical documents, and general reference works.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 and may be transferred to Kindles, iPads and other e-readers.
The AP Images Collection is a primary source database with millions of images from 1826 to the present, and more than 3,500 additional photographs 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, the AP Images Collection provides 2.7 million Associated Press news stories from 1997 to the present.
