pre-determine which content sources (e.g., Magazines, Newspapers,
Biographies, Country Reports, Film & Video) will be included with their
search. They can also search their databases by topic heading, make use
of an online dictionary and encyclopedia, explore the top searches of
the day, and even limit their search according to appropriate Lexile
reading levels.
Some databases may include Lexile reading levels in article

grade level reading ability required for comprehension. The grade level
