Where to find our Databases

If you need to find a single database, the best place to start is from the Databases A-Z button on the MCC Library homepage (under Research Resources).  This button will connect you with every database we subscribe to.  Use the drop down menus or select the first letter of the database name you are looking for to access it.


Examples of our database subscriptions include:

  • Academic Search Complete
  • Medline
  • CQ Researcher
  • Westlaw
  • Bloom's Literature
  • EBSCOhost
  • ProQuest


Search Multiple Databases with the Library Search Tool

Library Services' Search Tool (shown below) is featured on the Library's homepage.  Most of our sources can be found through or accessed by this one tool.  This search tool searches multiple databases to provide you with sources such as journal articles, books and eBooks, videos, audio or video recordings, newspaper articles, images, and dissertations or theses from graduate students.
