A database is an organized collection of information, usually articles, that allow you to search and find the information you need. Most databases are paid by subscriptions. Please use the links below to access the databases (do not search Google and use that link as it will ask you to pay for access).
Where are the databases?
Here is an A-Z Database List for all of the databases available to you.
Choosing a database can be difficult when you start to do college-level research.
If you are unsure which database to use, you can search them all at once using the "Start Your Search" link on the library page. This allows you to search everything you have access to.
As you continue with your schooling, you will become more familiar with the databases that are specific to your major. For example, if your major is business, you will start to use databases like "Business Source Complete" and "Regional Business News."
In these guides, librarians have put together databases by subject so you can find them more easily.
Be sure to contact a librarian for help with your research!
If you locate an article you wish to use, you can often email it to yourself. You do not need to use your student email address. While on the article result page, you can often get the citation (APA, MLA, or Chicago Notes and Bibliography) by clicking on the "Quotation marks."
