Library Research Databases: The Basics
- Library Research Databases: The BasicsThis brief guide will help you create a search strategy that will get better results from a research database.
OneSearch
OneSearch is the library's main discovery system. Use OneSearch to find books, articles, and many other types of resources. Search OneSearch from the library homepage.
Research Databases
The library subscribes to hundreds of research databases about different disciplines and subjects.
- Use research databases in addition to OneSearch to find focused academic resources on your topic.
- The databases usually include journal articles, but some include many other types of academic sources.
- You can use more specific keywords in research databases than you often can in OneSearch, so you can often discover sources more directly in a database than you can in OneSearch.
- Many databases also include material not listed in OneSearch.
