Business Research Resources: Books & DVDs

Use this guide to help you find sources for your business class study and research needs

Library of Congress Classification System Subject Range

Depending on what you are researching, the business-related subjects fall within the HC 10, Economic history and conditions, through HJ 9940, Public accounting; Auditing sections of the Library of Congress Classification System. If you are browsing books which are available for check out, please look in book shelf #22 through #25.

You can also find book titles in the Reference section of the library, downstairs (these are the books you use within the library and which are not available for check out).

Online Catalog Searches

The EPCC library catalogs are available from the library home page:

https://www.epcc.edu/Services/Libraries

There are two catalogs.  The Ebsco Discovery Service will let you search our print book/DVD collections plus some of our online article databases, all at the same time.  However, if you are not on an EPCC campus and want to view an article, you will be asked to log in with your EPCC active directory.

The Classic Catalog only searches our print book/DVD collections, but it does not require a login for off campus use.

Searching Topics

Try a SUBJECT search (to search an alphabetical list of subject tags used in the catalog)

 

 

E.g.

  • business communication
     
  • supervision of employees
     
  • diversity in the workplace
     
  • coca-cola company

 

Try a KEYWORD search (Search all the tags, including the table of contents.  You can also use a Keyword search to COMBINE terms)

E.g.

  • sexual harassment workplace
     
     
  • leadership business
     
     
  • firing employee

 

HINTS

Did you know that you can limit your search to a particular EPCC campus library?

  • In the Ebsco Discovery Service, do your search, then scroll way down the results page until you see "Library Location" on the left hand side of the screen.  Click on the down arrow to open up a list of EPCC campus libraries, then click on the library that is closest to you.
  • In the Classic Catalog, there is a box on the main search screen that says "All Campuses."  Click on the down arrow on this box and select the campus you want to search. 

Did you know that you can request a book or DVD from another EPCC campus library?

Just fill out a form at your nearest EPCC campus library to get a book or DVD sent to the EPCC campus library of your choice. (It usually takes two to three working days, Monday - Friday, to arrive.)
