The Library's databases include paid subscribed content and open access journal repositories that cover a wide range of academic disciplines. Most content in a library's database may be linked to using the permanent or persistent link features within the database's platform.

Linking to contents from the Library's databases:

• Access to any content in a library database requires an HCC log in.
• Only current student, staff or faculty have access to library databases.
• Use the persistent or permanent link of an article to link directly to it - this is not the same thing as the link in the browser's address bar.
• Ask a librarian for assistance or use the Linking to Library Resources guide.
