The Library of Congress subscribes to a large number of diverse subscription databases. These resources are cataloged and accessible via the E-Resources Online Catalog (EROC). In addition to subscription databases, there are also a large number of free resources that have been selected by subject specialists at the Library included in the EROC. As part of LibGuides, the Library provides an A-Z Database list that includes both the name of each resource, a link to that resource, and a description for each database.
Begin by watching this short video for instructions and requirements when adding EROC databases to a guide. This video is 03:43 in length.

Reuse the "Subscription Resources" box below on pages where you provide links to subscription databases. Or, you can copy and paste the HTML code into an existing Rich Text window. This message notifies users that these resources cannot be accessed outside of the Library.
The subscription resources marked with a padlock are available to researchers on-site at the Library of Congress. If you are unable to visit the Library, you may be able to access these resources through your local public or academic library.
To add the boilerplate text to a Rich Text/HTML box by copying the string of code below into your box; remember to paste it in the "Source" (code view) of the RIch Text/HTML box.
