Welcome!
You're invited to roam through this guide to help you with your research. Make sure to ask me (Daryll Stevens) or any librarian at the Research Desk for help when you need it!
Get started with the Library Catalog
Use the CC library catalog to find books, DVDs, and other things in our local collection, as well as links to online resources such as ebooks and streaming video.
If you are used to the old "Tiger" catalog, that was replaced with our new catalog in the summer of 2019. It should work similarly to Tiger, but better! Please ask at the Research Desk or Circulation Desk if you need help.
Get started finding articles
The databases below are the best places to look for scholarly articles on theatre and dance topics. Use the "Find Articles" section of this guide for more suggestions of where and how to search.
