Database Help

Introduction

The Gee Library at A&M-Commerce provides a number of databases to help students, faculty, and staff locate useful information. Most people use the databases to find journal articles on a particular topic, but other types of information are available as well.

This web site will help you use these databases effectively, saving you time, effort, and even money. You will learn about using basic search skills, selecting the best database for your needs, and accessing the databases both on-campus and off-campus.
