Useful Resources

• To find print books and multimedia materials use the Online Catalog. The E-book  collections allow you to search more than 6,000 books online. Also, thousands of journal, magazine and newspaper articles are available through numerous Online Databases.
  
• Internet resources are also available from the library home page. This link leads to search engines, free e-mail sites, & web resources arranged by subject and categories. The Research & Writing Tips will link you to very useful sites on that topic. And you will also find great web sites listed under the Language & Literature category.
  
   
• Tips that may be useful in a English 1302 class include library research guides developed by EPCC librarians, such as Twelve Steps for a Research Paper  and Research Tips.
  
   
• To learn how to access the electronic resources from home, check out the Remote Access to Online Databases.
  
   
• The Area Libraries page takes you to other library home pages in this region.  Among them are UTEP, NMSU, & the Texas State Library.
