Who you gonna call… when you have a research question?

A librarian’s standby for quick answers was historically the reference collection. Over the last ten years the print reference collection at CPCC has been cut to 25% of its previous size. To fill the gap we have online reference resources that can be accessed from any computer with web access. Find a list of reference resources at in the Research Databases section of our website under Reference.

The newest database that is specific to reference is Credo Reference which contains digital copies of 100 encyclopedias, dictionaries, and atlases covering a range of subjects from literature, to law, to science and more. All titles are full-text searchable. Credo Reference also offers the ability to seamlessly search within other library resources such as the CPCC Library Catalog and Academic Search Premier making it a great place to begin your research.
