Alternative Media Resources

Pima Community College Libraries subscribe to a number of resources for your convenience. You are probably familiar with our databases that have articles but we also have an image database, two streaming video databases and a streaming music database.

It is best to access these resources through MyPima, but you can also just click the links below. (You will be asked to sign-in with your MyPima username and password.)
