The Berkshire Community College Discovery Search, an EBSCO Discovery tool (EDS), lets you search across more than one database with a query. To find articles click the Peer Reviewed box. To locate eBooks/print books click Catalog Only.  For individual databases use our A – Z Database link (opens a new window). EDS is a "discovery" tool, and is best for searches to explore a general topic area. Learn more about EDS on this guide.  For specific research needs, it is suggested that you search individual databases in our A-Z List.  Can't find an article on our databases? Order it through Interlibrary Loan! (opens a new window) 

  • Visit us in the newly renovated Library Building for ID Cards, reserve textbooks, and research help.
