A library database is a searchable collection of publications including academic or scholarly journals, e-Books, newspapers and magazines.
See which publications -- journals, newspapers, magazines -- are available online from the library.
For help finding an article or book, please contact the library at ncclibrary@ccsnh.edu.
Information is available in many formats such as eBooks, print books, journals, photographs, newspapers, videos and websites. No format is inherently superior to another--it depends what you are looking for and what your instructor has specified. Think about what kind of information would be most useful to you before you start to search.
Here are some formats you will encounter on this library site:
EBOOKS 98% of the library's books are eBooks--most are from academic publishers and are considered scholarly resources. To search for a book on specific topic, search all ebooks with NCC Library OneSearch on library homepage. (Choose eBooks tab).
Explore collections of articles from ejournals, newspapers and reports. Search many databases at the same time in NCC Library OneSearch. (Choose Articles tab).
Some of these articles are scholarly or peer-reviewed. See how to find scholarly articles.
