Databases

Passwords are not needed for on-campus use of most of the following products; however, log-ins and passwords are needed for remote use. EBSCOHost, JSTOR, Project MUSE, ProQuest, and SIRS contain full-text articles from thousands of periodicals (newspapers, magazines, and journals, etc.). The Discovering Collection contains information from reference books; access always requires a password. Encyclopedia Britannica gives BRTC students access to the most up-to-date information from a collegiate encyclopedia, and the FirstSearch WorldCat is especially good for locating books on particular subjects to borrow through interlibrary loan. Granger's has approximately 200,000 full-text poems with accompanying information. More and more databases now include BOOK information as well as information from periodicals - look carefully at options to find book information.
