Using more authoritative resources doesn't mean more work or paying extra, you just need to add the library's Information & Research page to your "Favorites" or "Bookmarks" list.

Tapping in through the library's website can be done from the library, at home, or at any other Internet-enabled computer within the State of Ohio.
Often the most accurate, educational information resides in what insiders call the "Hidden Web" - password-protected subscription websites typically not open to Web search engines. Check out the library's Information & Research page. Each of the resources offered by the library will be listed and will have a brief description of what you can do there. If you need additional help, see a librarian, call your local branch or "Ask Us a Question" through our email reference service.
