Online Databases

Databases are collections of actual articles from magazines, newspapers, and encyclopedias. They are not considered the same as Internet or websites sources.

You need an Upland Public Library card to access these databases. Password or Patron ID for all databases is your 14 digit Library Card number.

Old cards that start with PUPL will not work. Please go to the Library’s Checkout Desk for a new card.
