Tennessee Electronic Library (TEL) is a robust collection of databases and online resources available to all citizens of Tennessee and is freely available for all schools - public or private. Because TEL is a source educators, parents, and students can access easily through their school, we have curated a list of TEL databases (alphabetically) that we think are especially useful to ESL educators. Ask the librarian if you don't see TEL on your school website!
Search and view scholarly articles in Spanish and Portuguese. The database offers a wide range of content from and about Latin America.
Informe Académico proporciona acceso a periódicos y revistas especializadas de lengua española y portuguesa. La base de datos ofrece una amplia gama de contenidos sobre América Latina.
