12 All about research guides
Databases are your #SuperSecretSearchSolution. Databases help you find relevant articles and sources more quickly than just searching a big tool like Google.
The Discovery Search on the library homepage searches across many different databases. That means sometimes it brings back TOO many results. One way to save time and focus your results is to search one database at a time. To find databases relevant to your topic try looking for a TCC Library research guide (aka LibGuide)
- Subject guides list the best databases for a particular area of study like Music, Business, or Humanities.
- Course guides list resources specific to your course like Public Speaking (COMM 1113), Composition I (ENGL 1113), or Biology for Majors (BIOL 1224).
- Topic guides list resources selected to provide information on a specific timely topic like 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, Copyright, or Media Literacy.
