About Databases

Library databases connect you to countless sources of credible, trustworthy, and scholarly information. Sources include articles from scholarly journals including peer reviewed journals, current articles from magazines and newspapers, and reference sources. You can browse the entire list of databases on the main library database page.

In order to access library databases off-campus, you will be asked to sign in using the same credentials you use for Canvas/SCCCD email. More help with using databases can be found on our tutorial playlist on YouTube.
