Databases are a collection of data that have been organized and made searchable. Our library databases contain scholarly journal articles, films, magazines, primary and secondary sources, and other useful research material. These databases can be found on our Databases and E-Resources page. They can be searched through alphabetically or by subject.
If you are researching within a specific discipline I would suggest searching through the databases by subject to find one that suits your needs such as the History, Art, Anthropology, Environmental Science, and more! We also have a General list of databases to get you started.
