Planning and Preparing

Created at the University of Minnesota, the Assignment Calendar allows you to plug in your start date and due date for a project and provides a calendar of steps for completing it.

Please note that this link takes you to the University of Minnesota's calendar which links to resources on their website and on the websites of other libraries. However, it is a useful tool if you are interested in a general outline that takes you through steps you can follow to stay on track in completing a project.

The Research Process

The following links will walk you through the process of doing research once you have settled on a topic from starting your research to search for information in the library's database to evaluating information sources.

Remote Access to Library Databases

All library databases linked to are subscription databases. This means that to access them from anywhere outside of a City College building, you will need to log in with your CCC username and password. Note: Enter the username without the @student.ccc.edu ending.

The login page will look like this:
