We hate to be the bearers of bad news but after graduation our students do not have access to the databases.

Bethel's license agreements with our database vendors limit access to current students and staff.

The good news is that Tennessee's library system has a lot of wonderful databases available to residents.

They have databases such as Academic Onefile that you used here at Bethel.
