Search the PCC Collection
Access the Library collection here. Identify which items are Reference (they don't circulate), and those in the "circulating" collection. Also search our periodical databases for current information.
Online Resources
When using online resources, remember to consider currency (how old is the information?), reliability (who publishes it?), and relevancy (can you use it?).
The Index to Dental Literature is available via the National Library of Medicine here.
Clinical Trials

Dental Dictionary

Seeking Research Help
Ensure you understand all assignments before leaving class and coordinate with your instructor if you have problems. If you need help using the Library, contact the Reference Librarian at the earliest opportunity. Successful research is based on timely and efficient identification and use of resources. Don't wait until the last minute to start your assignments, and the Library staff will help you locate pertinent resources.
