FRCC Databases
Databases and other library resources available to the public and to FRCC students and faculty with a Wolf card.
Harmony Library on Front Range Community College Larimer Campus is a joint-use facility serving as both an academic library and a public library. This means students, instructors, faculty, and staff get access to an even bigger collection, extended hours, additional library staff help, more study spaces, and more events!
There is so much information online and it can take a lot of time and effort to figure out what is quality information and if it would work for your assignment. Research more efficiently using the library!
Your FRCC librarians selected books, journals, and textbooks that are relevant to your FRCC classes. You can borrow all of these items for free.
In addition to our physical collection, you can use the Colorado Community College System’s Online Library, accessible from anywhere by logging in with your S number. These online databases include trustworthy sources like peer-reviewed articles, newspapers, primary sources, eBooks, videos and animations, and images. Using these resources will make your assignments stand out while you’re in school. Researching with FRCC databases will also familiarize you with the type of professional information valued in your field.
Look for text, often on the top of the page, that says “Access provided by Colorado Community College System.” Also, the URL will include ccco.idm.oclc.org, which lets you know you’re logged into the CCCS subscription.
Library staff can help you brainstorm research topics and find just the right information for your assignments. We can also help you cite your sources. Email, call, chat, make an appointment, or drop-by in person – FRCC librarians are here to support your academic goals!
