Tips for Using Databases

When accessing the databases from off campus, you will be asked to input your MyPima username and password.

You can print, email, and save articles from databases.

Many of the library databases include MLA citations.  If you use an article from a database, you can simply copy the MLA citation into your Works Cited page!  (Always look them over to make sure they are correct.)
