The College Library's Britannica vs Google's Britannica

The College Library's Britannica School Australia gives St Pat's students access unlimited articles across the entire Encyclopedia Britannica platform, and includes access to the entire educational media library of videos and images.

The Britannica website students find through Google does not have full access to information and media. 

 

Reading Levels

There are three reading levels to choose from:

Primary - primary school level
Middle - early high school years 
High - senior high school years


We suggest you start searching for information at 'Middle' level. This way, you can see if the 'Middle' information is suitable and change to 'High' if needed.
