Select a Database
On the databases page you will find more than 300 different databases. To determine which one is best for your project, you can use the menu in the top left corner to search for databases by Subject.
For example, if you are doing research for Sociology, you might want to look in databases just for Sociology. Choosing this option will lead you to a listing of the best databases to use when conducting sociology research.
A few general guidelines:
- If you're doing research for an introductory course, such as ENGL 100, try ProQuest Central or Academic Search Premier. They're great places to start.
- If you need recent newspaper articles, try ProQuest Global Newstream.
