For assistance with database searching ask a librarian or consider taking one of the library's free workshops.
A CCSF barcode is required for off-campus access to some of the databases, as noted. Registered students receive an ID in the mail that has a bar code printed on it. This provides you immediate access to these databases. If you have not received a student ID, you may obtain one at Registration, Smith Hall, Room 118, Ocean Campus.
