The TCC pays for a form of subscription access to many electronic versions of the magazines, encyclopedias, newspapers, and other items that aren’t kept in the catalog for whatever reason. These items won’t usually be found in the library catalog, but you can find them by searching the various databases found on the library website.
Some assignments will require that you use “scholarly journal” articles or peer reviewed articles; you can find these using the TCC databases. To learn more about the TCC databases see the resource guide.
For assignments and subjects related to your English and other humanities topics, Academic Search Complete and Gale Virtual Reference Library are good places to start. See this guide for links to these as well as a few other databases recommended for your English related research needs.
Your TCC library has also provided some video tutorials that will help with database searches. Take a few minutes to check them out, and feel free to comment or email me with any questions you may have.
