ProQuest SIRS Discoverer on TexQuest

SIRS Discoverer is a multidisciplinary database specifically designed for upper elementary and middle school learners, researchers, and educators covering curriculum areas including history, health, language arts, math, science, social studies, and technology. Teachers and librarians at both elementary and middle schools will find it useful in finding material to incorporate in their classes and student assignments. However, some areas of the resource, such as the controversial issues area, are best suited for older students only as the topics and viewpoints presented may be too advanced for elementary. TSLAC does not recommend this as a resource for independent exploration by elementary school students for that reason. 

SIRS Discoverer resides on the Guided Research Application and ProQuest Platform. More information on the ProQuest Platform is available on the ProQuest Platform LibGuide
