When looking for resources for a paper, the DACC Library Search Everything Box searches all physical and electronic content DACC students have access to. You can use the limiters on the left side of the page to filter and get more specific results, like peer-reviewed, publication date, or available online. If you find a physical book you like, but it is not at your library, you simply "request" it to be sent to your closest library. You must be signed in to see this option.
Want to get more specific? The library subscribes to content-focused databases on specific topics that can be searched individually. Remember to use filters to narrow down your results. Using Boolean operators in your search string, like AND, OR, and NOT can help provide better results. Don't forget to try different keywords if you're not finding the results you need.
If you find a resource that you want to use that DACC library doesn't have access to, use this form to ask us to get it from another library for you:
