Q. How do i get to SIRS?

To access SIRS and all Delgado Libraries' databases: 

You can access the databases from any computer on the Internet but, if you are off-campus, you'll have to log-on.

1. Go to the main Delgado page www.dcc.edu

2. Click on the library link at the bottom of the page.

3. That will take you to the library's homepage:http://dcc.libguides.com/library

4. Click on the tab that says Databases, then "click here to access our Databases."

5. That will take you to our A-Z Databases page:http://dcc.libguides.com/az.php. The databases will be listed in alphabetical order but you can search by subject or vendor as well.

6. When you click on the database of your choice it will ask you to log in with a username and password. The username will be Your LOLA L# and the password will be your birthdate in mmddyy format

SIRS Knowledge Source and EBSCO Databases are great for finding articles. Keep in mind that EBSCO is not a single database; rather it is a company that makes several databases and other research products, including ebook collections. When speaking of EBSCO, it is helpful to identify at least one of their databases like Academic Search Complete, Environment Index, or Science & Technology Collection, each of which provides access to different collections of resources.

Additional databases that might be useful in your research are Arts & Sciences Collection I-V (JSTOR) and Today's Science.

Good luck with your research.  If you have any more questions, please come by the library or use the chat feature on the library homepage.
