ERC Online Databases

ACCESSING ONLINE RESOURCES

  • If you experience any problems, please do not hesitate to call or come by for help

Searching the Library Catalog

You can search the library catalog by using the "Search" bar on the ERC home page. There are several search options available. The search will display available titles with a Call Number. (A call number represents an item's subject matter and indicates the location on the shelf where the item can be found).  We use the Library of Congress (LC) call number type at the ERC. If you have trouble locating the resources you're looking for, ask ERC staff for help. Since print resources are housed at the De Queen campus, you may call to request resources at another campus.

                                                       

Help Accessing Resources

As a service of the ERC, Kimball Library offers about 10,000 print resources and 170 databases for research. If you have problems finding resources or need help locating material, help is only a phone call or step away. If you are at another campus or at home and experiencing problems, we are a phone call away. Databases allow 24/7 access to research material, so you can easily find resources from the comfort of your home!
