    How to Find Articles

    Locating Online Journal, Magazine, & Newspaper Articles

    The MCC Libraries subscribe to a number of electronic databases you can use to search for articles on your particular topic. Some databases are full-text and therefore have entire articles from certain magazines, journals, and newspapers available for you to print directly from the computer.

    In order to search MCC Libraries article databases from off campus, you must first connect to the campus EZproxy server. Instructions for logging in to EZproxy are located on the "Access from Home" Library web page and are also provided below.

    To Access MCC Libraries Article Databases

  • Go to http://www.monroecc.edu/go/library
  • If on-campus select "Find articles and online databases"
  • If off-campus select "Access from Home" and follow directions to
        log-in to EZproxy
  • Then select a database to search
  •                    image of Access from Home link and EZproxy icon

    To log-in to EZproxy, students must use the same username and password combination required to access their MCC Student E-mail Account. MCC
    students can learn more about their college e-mail account by visiting the
    "MCC Students" web page at http://www.monroecc.edu/Students/ and clicking on the "Lookup My Account" and "Common Questions" links in the "Email Help & Setup" drop down menu on the right side of the page.

    The following databases are useful for researching hospitality topics:

       Academic Search Premier

       MasterFile Select

       Business and Company Resource Center

       National Newspaper Index

       Business Source Premier

       OmniFile Full-Text Select

       Custom Newspapers

       Regional Business News

       MasterFile Premier

       Rochester Democrat & Chronicle

    Database help guides are available on the MCC Libraries website in the Searching Article Databases section of the Publications, Research Guides, & Tutorials web page.

    Article Search Tips

    • Select a recommended database from the list above.

    • Use subject terms and keywords appropriate to your topic.

    • Search more than one database to locate articles, since there is variation in the subject terms used by each database, and also differences in the type and number of journals, magazines, and newspapers covered.

    • If the full-text article is not available directly from the database make sure you write down or print off the citation for the article. You will need the citation information (title of the publication, author, title of article, volume, date, issue, and page numbers) to check if the article is available from the Libraries' print periodicals collection, or if you want to submit a request for Interlibrary Loan.

    • If the article or book you need is not available at MCC Libraries, you can try submitting a request through our Interlibrary Loan service. Interlibrary Loan is a network of local, state or national associated libraries that share resources (primarily books and photocopies) by lending and borrowing with each other. Visit the MCC Libraries Interlibrary Loan web page to learn more about this service.

    • Ask a Librarian if you need help using any of the Library's resources.

It also contains links to many free full-text electronic journals that are available directly on the Web. This listing can be helpful if you already have the citation to the article and want to check if we subscribe to a certain periodical online, or if you would just like to browse the contents of a specific publication exclusively online.
