Electronic Library Database Search Instructions

The MMCC electronic library offers services to assist in your research as it is imperative to use academic articles for your research project. Due to the new library website, there is a different procedure for finding Academic Articles:
· Visit the college’s website at www.midmich.edu
· Click on Library & Learning Services in the menu on the left hand side of the screen
· Click on Library in the menu on the left hand side of the screen
· Click on Electronic Databases o This will open a page that includes both on campus and off campus access o Select On Campus or Off Campus in the menu on the right hand side of the screen
·
Select the database you would like to use by clicking on the logo o Please note students will need to provide a barcode to access the databases off campus * The generic barcode for distance education students is: 23243004626908

I would strongly recommend reviewing the tutorials available by clicking Library and then Tutorials on the right side of the screen in the Library & Learning Services web site.
The tutorials will assist with information on academic articles, MLA formatting and electronic databases.
