As you already know, databases are useful sources of information about journal articles, conference papers and other research materials. The University subscribes to many subject specific databases that you may not be aware of.
Before you start searching specific databases, it is useful to search our new single seach system, Discover. It is on the main library web page. It searches our main databases, books, ebooks and electronic journal content. You can link to the full text of articles where available and export citations into RefWorks to compile your bibliography. We have a vidcast to help you:
Current information on the best databases for your subject is available on the library subject guides. These list the key and backup databases for each subject. Some quick links to help on our main databses are available on our database help page and you can contact your subject librarian for further details. They will be happy to meet you indiviaually or in small groups.
