Research databases are the best way to find information for your assignments. They contain thousands of full text articles and can be about a specific subject or can be good to start general research on a topic.
The CCBC Library subscribes to many databases. This Guide includes some of the best to use for this subject.

Databases are not intuitive like search engines are (Google), so to use them you need a strategy.
1. Use two or three keywords instead of a sentence.
2. Use AND to connect the keywords
3. Use quotation marks to search a phrase
4. Too many results? Too few results? Try related words or synonyms
