Online Periodical and Journal Databases

Like many college classes, students are expected to do a research paper at some time during their studies.  One of the quickest and easiest resources is online articles from secure and dependable sources.  Our College provides access to magazines, journals, and newspapers which can be full-text or citation, they're easy to locate, and provides up-to-date information. Our library offers student access to two online subscription databases to assist them in their studies: Proquest and Ebscohost. These online databases offer collections relevant to our programs and can be accessed through the library’s webpage.


ProQuest is an online information service that provides access to databases covering such subjects as business and management, education, science, computing, medicine, telecommunications, the social sciences, and newspapers. A quick reference guide to getting started in searching ProQuest can be found at http://training.proquest.com/trc/training/en/onepageqrg.pdf or can be watched on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29vtatXdf9o compliments of Dalhousie University.


EbscoHost is an online database that provides access to full-text and citation information on databases that include references to health, business, education, and the arts. Ebsco also compiles licensed content directly from publishers such as Academic Search, MasterFILE, and Environment Complete. The CNA Campus libraries have created a basic search demonstration in the Ebscohost database - Academic Search Premier which can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPZ6jA7Nc-o. Tutorials on using EbscoHost can be located at http://support.ebsco.com/training/tutorials.php.
