Research Advice

Helpful tips on conducting research and finding information.

Now you have your topic, but you need information about it.  The Learning Commons has tons of books, e-books, and databases full of resources for you to use.


The search box below searches the vast majority of CMCC's physical & electronic resources. 
It does not currently search EBSCO databases or R2 Digital library; which is why we included their search boxes too.
EBSCO has information on almost any topic, and R2 Digital Library is health & medicine focused. 
The Database Searching pdf has a lot of helpful information about getting useful articles out of our many databases.
