Why use a library database?
The Library Databases index journal articles by topic. This is where you can access scholarly material for your university assignments. When you search a Library Database you are searching a particular set of journals which have been specifically chosen to be included in a database. Some Library Databases group together journals on particular discipline areas, so might be specific to environmental management for instance.  Other Library Databases are more general in their coverage. You may find that you get the results you want from one database or you may need to use more than one for your research.
 
What does a database give you?
Some Databases provide the full text of an article and some just provide the reference. It you have not been able to access the article in full-text, check to see if the Library holds the Journal Title (either print or electronic). 

(See the Journals Tab on this LibGuide for detals).

Below is a select list of databases (in alphabetical order) that you may find useful in your studies. There are also links to training and support offered by the database providers to enable you to get the most out of these products. You can save yourself a lot of time by learning how a database works before you use it.
