Databases

Databases banner

Databases are:

  • searchable banks of academic resources (typically journal articles​ but they also include dissertations, book chapters, etc.)
  • they can be subject specific or generic​
  • searchable via keyword search to find relevant results​
  • some are full-text – others are abstract only​ but will link to the full-text if available via a different resource.

You can search across most of the Library's databases (we have over 200) using the Find books and articles search on the Library homepage. But searching across individual databases provides access to subject specific high quality articles and you won't be overwhelmed by the number of results you are finding (as you can be using the main library search).
