Is the journal I need online?
How do you find out if a journal you need is in one of TCC's databases?
It's easy. Just use the publication name search page.
You can locate specific books, journals, magazines, or newspapers and link into the database.
But not everything is online so if you don't find what you need Ask A Librarian!

Searching or Finding?
Would you shop for a new car at a grocery store? Probably not.
So why would you search the world for a scholary article when you can search a discrete collection of scholarly articles in the library databases?
It's not always about the search, it knowing what the materials are that you're searching.
Use a library database and turn searching into finding!

Beyond TCC: Finding materials
If a TCC book or media title is checked out you can look at the bottom of the catalog record in TCC's library catalog and use WorldCat.org to easily check if that item is available at a nearby library.
WorldCat grows every day thanks to the efforts of librarians and other information professionals. Learn more about WorldCat.org.
Coming up... borrowing from other libraries.

Citations
Whether you need help with MLA, APA, or other citation styles try using your library's Writing & Citations subject guide.
If you use a citation manual, examples in your textbook, or an online service to help format citations remember the ultimate authority is your instructor.
