The SMC Library has a combination of resources to help you with your research, including print materials, eBooks, and online databases.
How and where do I find scholarly articles? The best way to find appropriate articles for your assignments is by searching the library's online databases. The databases include articles from scholarly journals, magazines, newspapers, and more. You can limit your search to full-text and/or scholarly journals within each database.
Select the ARTICLES tab on the homepage then click on the Databases A-Z link to be taken to the databases guide. You can then search multiple EBSCO or GALE databases by using the search boxes on the main tab, or you can select a single database by clicking on the specific name of the database you want to search.
Instructions for off campus access are included within the Databases A-Z guide.
The Library provides access to over 80 online research databases. Using the databases provided by the library will help you find reliable information from trusted sources.
The following are suggested databases for Criminal Justice. Visit our Databases A-Z Guide for a full list of databases.
*Off campus access: to access the Library's online Databases you'll be prompted to enter your SMC username and password. This is the same username and password you use to access SMC email or to login to computers at SMC. For the username, you only need to enter the first part of the email address (example: smithjd15).
