The following is a partial alphabetical listing of the electronic resources VIVA and VCCS provides to Virginia’s students and faculty. Faculty, staff, and students at SWCC can access these resources from their home and office computers. See remote access instructions.
There is a cross-database search engine called MetaLib. Basically, this service will allow you to search several of our electronic databases simultaneously. It will also provide a searchable database of our collection of electronic resources and provide subject groupings of this collection. Access requires a directory id and password login. Try it! For those patrons without a directory id try the guest version.
For a listing of online resources arranged by topic try the following pages: Distance Learning Resources or Subject List Online Resources in our Student Library Handbook.
