Library Databases provide access to articles from newspapers, magazines and  journals. The LAMC library pays a fee so student can access this information at no cost. We subscribe to over 40 databases, some general, such as EBSCOhost, and other subject-specific, such as Literature or History databases. Click on the blue button to see the full list.
