Databases
Databases
Databases can be:
- Full text - containing the full text of the articles.
- Bibliographic - these databases (sometimes called Abstract & Indexes / A&I) collect information about journal articles, often for a particular subject area. The most commondetails will be journal title, title of article, author, year of publication, volume and part number, and page numbers. There might also be an abstract which gives an overview of the article. Usually you will be able to use the Full Text Finder button
to check whether the library has access to the full text article you want.
- Other - we also have databases of material other than journal articles, such as
- Financial data
- Marketing data
- News stories
- Images
DISCOVER searches many of our databases at the same time, and will link you to the full text.
To find relevant resources for your subject you can:
- Search the library catalogue using the title of the database
- Browse the A-Z list of databases
- Browse the ejournal finder
- Use the Databases for my Subject drop down menu on the Digital Library tab
