LibGuides

LibGuides are research guides that have been prepared by EvCC librarians in collaboration with your instructors. They include relevant library and online resources as well as tips for searching the web and finding peer-reviewed articles in library databases.

Featured LibGuides

Interlibrary Loan

EvCC students and employees may request books or articles not available in our library collections.  Articles may take up to a week and books 2-3 weeks to arrive. Plan ahead and request only what you need.

Go to the Interlibrary Loan Page for more details or email library@everettcc.edu or call 425-388-9354 the Reference Desk for assistance.


Request an Article

Articles will be emailed to you at the address you provide on the Article Request Form.


Request a Book

Pick up books during library open hours when you've been notified via email or phone of their availability.  Due dates on interlibrary loan books vary as they are set by the lending library.

Finding Credible Sources

Use these tips for evaluating the credibility of your sources.  Ask a librarian for additional assistance.

From Topic to Keyword Search Terms

Tips on transforming your ideas for a topic into search terms that can be entered into library databases and Internet search engines.

Peer Reviewed Journal Articles

Many of the library's databases have a box you can check before searching to limit your results to 'scholarly journals' or 'peer reviewed journals.'

Peer reviewed journals are aimed at scholars and researchers in a particular field.  Articles are evaluated by experts in the authors' field before publication.

For a more thorough description of peer-reviewed journals, check out these links:
