Introduction

This online guide is designed to provide user-friendly descriptions of databases pertinent to the English discipline. As you can see above, there is a separate tab for each of the databases included in this guide. On the right side of this screen, you will also see the databases listed by category for which assignments and research they are most used. You may browse each database by its respective tab, or select databases based on the assignment/research colum on the right.

In order to access the databases, you will need to follow the steps in the column on the left side of the screen.

If you have any questions regarding these databases, or any others that the college subscribes to, please contact one of the college's libraries. You may also use this contact information for any other library-related assistance you are seeking. If you are seeking assistance outside the operating hours of the libraries, you may contact Ask-a-Librarian, a statewide reference service, by either live chat, text or email.
