If your students use Google, their search results can be clouded with commercial websites (including those for drug companies), cloaked racial websites and less than accurate information. It is why we strongly recommend you encourage middle school students to access their public library catalogs and databases to view full text information available online.
Getting an online library card is easy! Tell them to go to https://alam1.aclibrary.org/selfreg for Alameda County Library or https://catalog.hayward-ca.gov/selfreg for Hayward Public Library.
These below are the databases at Chabot College. Your W ID number is your username and your six digit Class-WEB PIN is your password. If you can't get access, our handout on alternative methods is listed right below. Contact Norman Buchwald or your instructor for the password to view this handout.
