Reference Sources are not always books. They can also
be databases and online resources. The MCC Library subscribes to
several online reference databases.
There are quite a number of reference databases available
covering a wide range of topics. For some of these, we also own the
print versions. Some examples of these include
Oxford Art Online, Oxford Music Online, the
Routledge
Encyclopedia of Philosophy, and the
Oxford English Dictionary.
You access these
databases from off-campus using the Off Campus Access Menu and the username and password (8 digit student ID and network password) you use when logging on to campus computers.
Many reference databases take advantage of the online format
and incorporate articles from periodicals, web sites, images,
statistics, and internal links between documents. This is in addition
to the information typically covered in these sources. These resources
provide full-text information.
