Research Guides: Affordable Learning Resources Guide for CHCA: Using Existing Library Resources

Search the Library

We highly recommend utilizing existing library resources to find course learning materials. Our library offers a vast collection of books, videos, and articles that can support your course content. The library’s main search box is an excellent place to start, as it allows you to access most of these resources in one convenient search. Simply enter your keywords to explore the available resources that can support your course.

Note: Enter your search keywords (e.g., risk management) and then filter by Source Type (e.g., books, videos) to find resources related to your topic.

Find Business, Industry & Stats Info Faster—Use These Databases

When conducting business and industry research, it’s often more effective to search directly in business-oriented databases. The library main search box can produce overwhelming results, making it harder to find exactly what you need. Additionally, some databases aren't integrated into the main search tool and may be missed. To enhance your search experience, we recommend using the following business-related databases for a more focused and efficient search.
