Library Workshop 1–Using Databases: Locating & Selecting Sources

 

The first step is finding the library’s website. (Links to an external site.)  This you can do from the GCC homepage (Links to an external site.).

After you click on Library (Links to an external site.), you will come to the library’s homepage.

Once you have found the library’s homepage, click on Databases A-Z. (Links to an external site.)  This will take you to the list of databases.

You might initially have to log in with your student ID and password like you do for Canvas.  So the first time you log in you will get this log in screen.

Choose a database that you think would be useful to use to research California wild fire problems.

  2. Why have you chosen this database? Explain in a sentence or two.
