At the UCC Library, we provide access to trusted academic resources to help you stay informed. Whether you're researching for an assignment or want to learn more for personal interest, our databases offer reliable, up to date information.
You can access these resources through our Library Databases A-Z or ask library staff for help finding what you need. Let’s use this month to raise awareness, empower ourselves with knowledge, and support those impacted by breast cancer.
