Off-Campus Access
To use databases from computers not located on the DSC campus,
you must select your databases from the Off-Campus
Access list.
Using databases from off-campus locations requires a username and
password which must be obtained from a librarian. Please come to
the library and show your DSC ID card with the current semester
sticker, and we'd be happy to help you.
Literature Option
You have the option of substituting a character in a book of children's
literature for one observation. These books from the Browning Library
are suggested as good titles for the age group you are studying.
Unless otherwise noted, all books are in the Juvenile Fiction collection
on the main level.
