The library's catalog is a great place to find varied resources. This is usually the go-to place to search through the books in our collection, but it also houses academic articles, eBooks, videos, news articles, and more!
I recommend searching the catalog first, as it will get you a greater number of results right away. There are millions of resources in here!
Databases are smaller collections of resources, and are mostly made up of articles. Databases are usually organized by subject-type, but there are a few (like Gale and EBSCO) that house larger collections of subject-diverse information. The following list are databases the CCC library has identified as particularly useful for Philosophy students.
Check out a full list of databases on the library's website!
