Remember, to get help selecting a database:

  • Use Article Databases on the Library's Web site.
  • Begin with a General database or explore the categories.

Choose a database that is a good match for your information need:

  • Does the database cover the subject you are interested in?
  • Does the database cover the time period?
  • Does it include scholarly journals or newspaper articles?
  • Librarians are always glad to assist you!

All databases look a little different but once you've learned the basics, it will be like driving a car you've borrowed from a friend. You know that there's a switch to turn on the lights or the radio--you just need to locate the controls. Even though they may look different, article indexes have similar features. Check for help screens or ask a librarian Links to an external site..
