Databases & other Electronic Materials

Subscription Databases
Most of the materials in this first section were originally from print sources and have been made available electronically. Subscription databases require you to be a member of the SBCC community and you will need a Pipeline account to access from off-campus. When off-campus, you should see this login screen at the start of each session. All subscription databases are appropriate for student research.
