(See https://tinyurl.com/6bdjqc for an article from MasterFILE Premier). You can save gas and paper, and keep up with sustainability issues, by doing research in the MCC Libraries’ online databases.
You can do your searching online from any computer with an Internet connection. You’ll only need to go to the library to pick up physical items such as MCC Libraries books, or items obtained from other libraries through interlibrary loan.
You can access the MCC Libraries’ 50 online article, reference, and e-book databases, as well as the MCC Libraries’ book and media catalog, from on- or off-campus from any computer with an Internet connection. See the attached overview for more information about access and searching.
In particular, the EBSCO GreenFILE database (funded by SUNYConnect) indexes, and offers some full text of, articles about all aspects of human impact to the environment from scholarly, government, and general-interest journals and magazines. GreenFILE is an easy way to keep up with developments in areas such as global warming, green building, pollution, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, recycling, and more. The database provides indexing and abstracts for more than 384,000 records, as well as full text for more than 4,700 records, and covers such titles as Agriculture & Environment (04/01/1981 to present), the Journal of Ecology (03/01/1913 to present), and the Journal of Environment & Development (03/01/1996 to present).
