We offer a wealth of quality research resources via this research guide and our website.
You will likely need to login once you attempt to access a library database or ebook for the first time in your research session.
When the white login screen "Login to Library Databases" appears, enter your JCC Network ID login, which is slightly different than your MyJCC/Brightspace login, you only need to enter your first initial, last name, month of birth in two digit format, and day of birth in two digit format. Thus, James Smith, born on Jan. 1, 2002 would enter: jsmith0101 as his username.

Below are a few recommended databases for articles on economic topics. The economy and economic theory can be a hot-button political item, so pay attention to the source, and possible bias, of authors and publications. For instance you may find an article from a publication called Human Events. The publication description for Human Events in Academic Search Complete says "News items of the week presented through eyes that favor limited constitutional government, local self-government, private enterprise and individual freedom." So this publication has an editorial bias.
Also pay attention to the dates on articles. Some may be reporting news as it happens - like the General Motors Bailout in 2008 - rather than reporting on the consequences of the bailout a few years after the event.

Email is the best method to use to contact me, I check my email several times a day during my normal work hours (9:00 am - 5:00 pm EST Monday through Friday). I check email less frequently (sometimes, not at all) during the weekends and on vacation days; if you need immediate help during these times, use the email and/or chat resources listed on our Ask for Help web page.
I look forward to working with you.
