Databases are organized, online collections of information that provide ways to search large amounts of information effectively. The Libraries pay for you to be able to access many different databases that include information that’s often unavailable in basic Google searches. Some databases only include publications that are related to a specific subject area (like IEEE for engineering) or resource type (like Global Newsstream for news sources), while other databases are multi-subject and include multiple subject areas and resource types (like Academic Search Complete or JSTOR).
Your subject librarian has compiled the best databases for your research needs in this research guide.
