The online databases at EACC are a powerful resource for meeting your research needs. These resources can be used to fulfill term paper requirements, class projects, to find sources for speeches, or other informational needs. There are handouts at the library that will step you through using these databases. Also, patrons can use these databases from off-campus, if they are a registered student at EACC. Students should also come to the library and make sure they have an ID number in our system. If you need off-campus login information, or if you need assistance in using the databases, please see a library staff member.
