Library Databases 


Library Databases (link takes you to database page)
This is where you can access our databases to research in newspapers, magazines, journals, and other resources for which we pay. I have listed the five I think will be most helpful, though you can browse them all!

For each database use the following
username: jfkchs and password: lancers 
I suggest first trying ProQuest which is a general database.  
You can search hundreds of publications, including newspapers, magazines, and journals.


Another excellent database to use is 
CQ Researcher.  
Search your topic and receive brief reports from multiple
perspectives.  We also have hard copies of the CQ in the 
library on the shelf below the window by the Blue Lab.  
The books are arranged by year.

Gale Databases: 
Instructions: Use the password "lancers" for each of the databases on this link.

General Online Resources 
USA.gov is a directory site to government services and agencies. It's easy to navigate and leads you to other reliable sources that will allow you to research your topic. It covers anything and everything, from finding gas prices in a particular area to calculating your grade point average. You can learn where the nearest farmer's market is and you can learn how to incorporate your business. If you're doing research, this is a great place to explore! 




How do I cite those sources?!  Go to The OWL at Purdue University for the best, and most up-to-date information on MLA format.
