Research databases are organized collections of information or data, such as journal articles, reports, books, videos, or images that can be searched to retrieve information. They often contain documents, citations, or article abstracts (summaries).

The University Libraries subscribe to hundreds of research databases, all accessible through the library page: Databases A-Z (Links to an external site.). You can filter databases by Subject to find databases that will cover your topic.

To find out more about what types of sources are in each database, you can highlight the information icon next to the database title to identify what types of resources are available.

From within the databases you can select material type for which you are searching. This will look different depending on the database, but should always be an option within the "Advanced Search" tool.
