Researching Student Success Topics

Check MCC Library's catalog, MIDAS, to find books, videos and DVDs on your student success topic.
Can't find what you need at MCC Library? Check WorldCat for additional titles and request them through Interlibrary Loan.

Want to know what employers look for in a job candidate? Check the Library's database Facts on File, look for Ferguson's Career Guidance Center and click "Employability Skills". Many of the items listed are characteristics of a successful student!

Search for articles from popular magazines and journals by searching Academic Search Premier. Depending on your topic, you could also search ABI-Inform and Business Source Premier.

Find newspaper articles in Lexis-Nexis. (Remember to do a "Guided News Search", Step 1 "General News", Step 2 "Major Papers".)

Keep yourself on target for completing your Annotated Bibliography and paper by following the tips in the Assignment Calculator.

And when you need a study break: Check Biography Reference Bank and be inspired(?) by the famous people born on the month and day of your birth!
