This page contains information on how to find databases.
Finding databases for a discipline/subject
Databases are search engines that allow you to search across collections of journals and articles. Some databases, like Scopus and ProQuest Central, are multidisciplinary and include articles from a variety of academic disciplines. Others, like PubMed, are more specialized and focus on a single discipline.
To find databases for a discipline or subject, visit our subject guides.
Tip: Each subject guide also has the contact information for the liaison librarian specialized in that subject area, so if you have any questions you can contact the librarian directly for help.
