Literature Databases

Searching electronic (online) resources

Libraries subscribe to a wide range of databases which allow you to search for articles inside journals which are specifically relevant to your subject. This is helpful when you want to find literature about a topic for a literature review or an assignment.
These databases can be accessed through a library web page.
Although the look and feel of databases is different, they have key search features in common.
Whilst access to most databases requires payment (by an institution) there is a range of good quality electronic resources which are freely available to anyone.
