Online Research, by Standards
More than ever, today's school leaders are focused on student achievement. Achievement that's powered by providing pupils at all grade levels with access to learning resources that are linked to national and state educational standards.
Like all ProQuest online teaching and learning solutions, eLibrary® and SIRS® unite the very best online content and learning technologies within a standards-based framework using ProQuest's proprietary, patented MediaSeek® correlation technology.
This technology allows our knowledge databases to update constantly as content and standards change, making it easy for educators to locate quality information resources that are directly linked to the exact learning benchmarks being employed in the classroom.

For more than 35 years, educators have trusted SIRS editors to select information that supports student research. We pride ourselves on selecting only the best and most relevant resources linked to your teaching standards.
