Lib 204 Project 3

Lib 204- Intro to Reference Services

                                          Project 3

To assist new Long Beach City College Library reference users, I have created a very basic, step by step guide to accessing the selection of subscription online databases.

    Getting Started Searching LBCC Subscription Databases

Step One:      You must first be a current student, faculty member or staff of LBCC possessing a valid college ID number to assess the subscription databases.  Access the college website at http:// www.lbcc.edu/                                        
Step Two:       From this page scroll down to Library selection and click on it. This will open to http://lib.lbccedu/  which is Library@Long Beach City College. Next, if you are   accessing the library from home or   another location than the campus, you will need to click on the off campus box   which is located under the site navigation selection list.  You will be prompted to enter your last name and college Id.
              
StepThree       Now, you are ready to determine the type of academic/informational search you need to perform by selecting a database such as Voyager or Proquest to begin your search.
