Databases are like digital filing cabinets for storing and organizing lots of information. Check out the library's databases so you can access academic journals (specialized magazines for scholars and researchers) and high quality academic articles. These are the types of sources your college instructors (and maybe future employers) will expect you to use.
Not sure where to start? Here are some ACC Library databases that may be helpful to your assignment. Remember, you may be prompted to log in with your ACC eID after clicking on the links. To see the complete A-Z list of ACC Library Databases, click here.
