ECC - Faculty & Staff

Reference and Research Consulting

ECC librarians provide reference and instruction in support of the curriculum and other information needs of the ECC community. Combining the resources of a traditional print reference collection, online reference tools, and thirteen databases, we offer one-on-one help with information needs as well as long-term research for both faculty and students. As your students' research advocates, we help them develop lifelong information literacy skills.

We assist with:

  • topic choice and search strategies
  • identifying and access books and articles, using the catalog and databases
  • understanding the different attributes and purposes of scholarly and popular information
  • making good website choices
  • proper citations of materials
