Library Databases

Library Databases

The Fullerton College library subscribes to dozens of databases. Think of each database like the academic Netflix or Hulu. Advantages of using the library databases:

  • Provide access to academic information without much other 'noise'
  • Resources are free to use for FC students and staff
  • Options to search and filter for specific resources

OneSearch

OneSearch: Guided Search

OneSearch is like an academic Google. It is a search engine that accesses most of the library's databases. Access it from the library homepage on the right-hand side. Below is a video of an example guided search using the OneSearch tool.
