How do I find and use a database?
The best way to find articles is in the library databases.
Answer
A Database is a collection of information that can be searched in multiple ways. In the case of the TCC Databases most of this information is articles from journals, magazines, newspapers, and other formats.
To find databases, start on the TCC Library Homepage.
This brings up a list of all the databases. You can browse the alphabetical listing, choose a subject, or select from the Recommended Databases on the right hand side.
Click on your database. If you are off campus it will ask you to log in at this point. You can log in with your myTCC username and password.
