Searching Freely Available Information Resources

Research databases, library catalogs, and bookseller catalogs are some of the most important resources you can use to search for scholarly information.

Many bibliographic databases are restricted to subscribers. Colleges, universities, companies and other organizations buy subscriptions to provide their users access to subscription databases. User authentication is used to verify that you are entitled to access. See Subscription Databases for more information.

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

Selecting Online Resources for Online Search

  2. Click Add database or catalog.
  3. Use the search fields to narrow the list of online resources:
  1. Select the checkboxes of the online resources you want to add, then click Add.
  2. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have selected all the information sources that interest you.
  3. Click Close.

Hint
