Access:
Start at the SWCC home page.  http://www.sw.edu.  Click on the "Library Services" link.  On the Library home page, select Periodicals and then choose the EBSCOhost link.

A list of databases will then show on the screen.  To search within a single database, click a database name in the list.  To select more than one database to search, check the boxes next to the databases and click Continue.  To select all databases, check Select/deselect all and then Continue.

You can apply limits for each database chosen.  For example, you can limit the results in many of the databases to full-text, peer reviewed articles, or English only results.  You can also change search fields.

Search tips:
If the full-text of an article is not available in the results, try clicking on the LincIt icon to see if LincIt will lead you to a VIVA/VCCS database that contains the full-text of the article.  Data specific help is available from within the search screens and the Results list.  Use the Help link to access the help files for a specific database.
