Using Library Databases

Library Databases contain a lot of information.  Thinking about what words you want to search before you start searching.  This will save you time and help you find better results, as will using the limiters in a database.

Limiting your search

Below is a sample search in one of our databases.  Use this features to help you with your search no matter what database you use.  These options might look different in different database, because they are owned by different companies.

Inter-library loan

Found a book or article you want to use for your research assignment, but we do not have access to?  We can try to borrow it for you.  Look for the option to request it when searching in our library databases.
