Finding Articles

Articles can be found from magazines, journals, or newspapers either by coming into the library or using our online resources.

Access of the library databases requires the use your ECC username and password. Your ECC username is your fist initial and your last name. For example, if your name was Joe Smith, your username would be jsmith. Your password will initially be the last six digits or your social security number. Step by step instructions on how to set up this process are located here. Once done this will be your username and password for all ECC functions, i.e. student email, accessing databases, self-serve, and moodle.
