Selecting Online Resources

Bibliographic databases and library catalogs are two of the most important resources you can use to search for for scholarly information.

To get started, we recommend adding the following online resources:

•Your university or public library to search for books you want to borrow.

•A large shared catalog or national library catalog such as WorldCat, the Library of Congress, or the British Library. This type of catalog helps you discover what books have been published on a given topic. Obtaining the book is not necessarily the primary goal.

•Bibliographic databases (also known as research databases) that are pertinent to your subject matter and that your university or company has subscribed to. (Visit your library's website for more information.) These help you find relevant articles in scholarly journals and contributions in edited books and conference proceedings.
