On-Campus Databases

The STCC Library offers several computerized databases to assist students in their research. These include both indexes, or lists of article summaries and citations, and full-text or full-image databases that allow students to read and print entire articles from the computer. If you aren't sure which database to use for your research, contact the library's reference desk at (413) 755-4549.
