Gale Academic OneFile This link opens in a new window
Academic OneFile is a comprehensive database that includes academic, peer-reviewed journal articles in many different subject areas.

Use this database for preliminary reading as you start your research. You'll learn about your topic by reading authoritative topic overviews on a wide variety of subjects.

Why Login

Although the MJC Library would like to offer open access to all of our research resources, license agreements with the publishers of our databases and eBooks require that only MJC students, faculty, and staff be given off-campus access to these resources.

How to Login

Once you click on the name of a database, you login just like you do for your MJC email or Canvas courses.

Troubleshooting

If you have trouble connecting to one of our databases, first make sure you have Cookies enabled on your Web browser.
If you have problems connecting to databases that you could previously, make sure you have cleared your Cookies, History, and Temporary Internet Files.
