Travel databases

We have databases that are perfect for travel! They are: Mango Languages, Global Road Warrior, and A-Z Maps Online. FYI: You will need to sign in with your NTNET username and password to access them. You can find them all at our Databases A-Z page. The link to this page is on our home page. Please keep in mind that these databases display the best and are the most usable on a desktop, laptop, or tablet computer. However, they have mobile-responsive sites, which can be used on your smartphone.

Mango Languages has over 70 languages for you to learn.  There are audio and video portions and even an app. You can create an account to track your improvement or be a guest user. This is also a great way for English as a Second Language learners to brush up on their language skills.
