I don't know which database to search

If you are not sure which database is relevant for your topic, you have two options:

  1. check out the Library Resource Guides. Each Library Resource Guide includes a selected list of the databases relevant to your search area.

  2. browse the Databases by Subject listing via Classic catalogue to see a complete list of all the databases held.
