Instructional Databases Software

A school division in Virginia is seeking vendors to provide comprehensive instructional database software to support research, literacy, and academic engagement across all grade levels and subject areas. The desired solution should consist of digital instructional databases—excluding ancillary services and eBook packages—that align with the division’s instructional objectives, promote equitable access to high-quality research and reading materials, and foster greater student engagement.

Key requirements include tools for citation management and project planning to uphold academic integrity and organization. The software must offer single sign-on integration with existing district authentication systems such as Clever and Canvas, and provide administrative access for Library Information Services to manage and monitor usage. The solution should encompass general reference and research databases, early research databases, and academic research databases, along with ongoing technical support, troubleshooting, and regular resource updates. Interested vendors are encouraged to ensure their offering meets these functional and technical needs.
