Two Types of Library Databases
Which should you use?

1. Multi-disciplinary Databases are great places to start if...

  • You are just starting your research,
  • You want articles that are full-text,
  • Your topic is general,
  • Your topic crosses two disciplines, such as education and psychology.

These 3 databases cover a wide range of topics with a mixture of popular, professional and scholarly sources. They offer thousands of articles full-text.

  • Academic Search Premier
  • Wilson OmniFile
  • Expanded Academic ASAP

Why search all 3 databases?

Because each database indexes a unique set of journals, and each journal may offer thousands of full-text articles in your field of study.
