Places to Search (gallery)

Summon Database Search

Summon searches through most of the library's resources. That means that you won't find it all, but you'll find a lot. 

Google Scholar

You can find peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles using Google Scholar, but getting access to the full-text can be tricky. While some are open-access, you can go to Google Scholar's Settings > Library Links page and add HACC! This will give you direct access to articles from HACC's library.

A note from Corrine: I give you my cell phone number for a reason: if you need help, please contact me - it will save you time in the long run! Please do not feel like you need to apologize for interrupting me or find a perfectly quiet uninterrupted space or time to meet. I am very flexible and will help you to the best of my abilities wherever I am. That may mean you see me in my campus office, home office, living room, kitchen, dining room, car, Panera, hotel room, my mother-in-law's house, the airport... these are all places I have met with people. That doesn't mean you're bothering me, it simply means I am taking advantage of the flexibility that allows me to be available to you!
