Highlights of the Online Collections
Presented to CSM Faculty on Flex Day, March 9, 2012
The library's online databases are collections of millions of digitized journal, magazine, and newspaper
articles, podcasts, and videos that are bundled together by vendors and selected by librarians. Most
databases are updated daily.
Many of our collections have multimedia resources such as videos, podcasts, animations, images, and
illustrations. You can incorporate these into assignments, lectures, and handouts.
