Books in Print Database with reviews is a good source to verify bibliographic information and locate books published on a specific subject, since both print and out-of-print titles are included.

WorldCat Database is a listing of books cataloged by libraries worldwide. It is a good source to verify bibliographic information and to see what other libraries own.

Full-Text Databases

Selective access to entire periodical, journal and magazine articles are available electronically. From the Library webpage, click on Journals, and then click on General or a Broad Subject Heading. Each database is similarly designed to search by keyword, subject, author, title of article, and/or title of periodical but each database varies in searching capabilities like limiting by date. For further assistance contact a librarian.

Quick Search provides a cross-database search on a broad topic and is recommended for the student who doesn't know which database to use.

TOP

Indexes

An index database only provides a citation (title, author, volume, issue etc.) to an article not the actual article. You should check Journal by Title to determine if the journal is owned electronically in another database or physically in the library. If the library does not own the article desired, we can order it from another library through inter-library loan.
