Library Research Strategies

This guide will help students develop research strategies for finding information for papers or projects.

Why search library databases?

Library research databases are the best places to do in-depth research.

 

You can look for full-text online articles from newspapers, journals, academic and popular sources. You can also locate peer-reviewed sources.

These sources are reliable, stable, and searchable with keywords, phrases, or subject areas. They provide citations, a variety of search filters, and other helpful tools.

All of the databases are accessible from off campus.

When prompted, you will log in with your full MYSVC username and password (first initial then last 4 numbers of CTClink@mysvc.skagit.edu - example: jrosas1234@mysvc.skagit.edu)
