In our institution ethics, research, and information literacy are very important, which is why teaching and guiding our students to locate reliable, safe and credible sources for academic writing and to make sound decisions both in and outside of school is high on our list of priorities.
EBSCO is the most reliable database in the field of education, a valuable and verified information tool available to students, which will help them find the resources they need to perform their academic tasks and learn about specific topics, making their academic research being more effective and credible.
It takes a transition process for search preferences to point to EBSCO compared to more traditional search engines, which, although they may be a faster and simpler option, have the disadvantage of not being reliable sources.
With training in how to search for information within a world full of technology and with the constant use of the EBSCO database, students will develop more qualified search competencies that prepare them for a more advanced academic and professional world, such as university.
EBSCO opens the doors to digitally reliable, reviewed and certified resources from all over the world. The use of this tools allows us to find resources such as: prestigious magazines, complete academic articles, electronic books, videos, maps, images and much more.
Hoping that these technological advances will benefit the student community in their learning and training process, EBSCO is one of the most important academic research tools at Futuro Verde, providing the assurance that what is produced within the institution is of high quality.
