Databases Available at MPCC
The databases listed on this Web site are available for MPCC student and staff use both on and off-campus. They have been selected based on the quality and usability of the information they contain. Lists have been prepared to aid in determining which database should be used to find information.
The Database List is an annotated guide that can be used to determine the type of information contained in a database. Most databases on this list can be used by simply clicking the link to that source. Some are restricted to student and staff use and are indicated by an Rs symbol.
Which Database is a diagram of the databases that are most often recommended by teachers for use in writing research papers. This group includes full-text magazine databases that contain scholarly information useful for reports and term papers. Using a graphic design, it provides a quick way to find what information is contained in the restricted databases.
