Online Research Tutorials
Welcome to the DCTC Library's Online Research Tutorials!
Even if you can't visit our library in person, you can still do high-quality research. The DCTC Library web site is a jumping-off point for many excellent online resources which you can use from any computer, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. These include:
- Encyclopedias designed for academic use
- Thousands of eBooks - digitally scanned books that you can view online
- Indexes that provide full-text magazine, journal, and newspaper articles on all topics
- Databases that provide information-packed reports on current events and social issues
- Links to select web sites that are more reliable and informative than what you typically find on Google or Wikipedia
Through the links on the left, you'll learn how to complete a high-quality research paper without ever setting foot in our library (though we hope you'll visit us anyway). Happy researching!
