How do I know which library database to search?
Answer
SUSS Library subscribes to over 100 online databases, accessible from our Databases page. These are useful research materials from academic journals, books, newspapers, and magazines.
Description
The databases are arranged alphabetically by name. To find the most relevant library databases and e-collections for your research, read the descriptions which give you an idea of:
- the academic subjects covered
- the types of sources contained
- the types of materials included (e.g. scholarly journal articles, books, newspapers, videos, etc.)
- the availability of full-text articles
- date range of materials covered
Filter By Subject
Databases often focus on a particular subject. It is possible to filter by subject area to find appropriate databases. Use the 'Subjects' drop-down menu at the top and select the subject you want.
Other Tips
You can also find useful database recommendations in the research guides for your discipline: https://libguides.suss.edu.sg/researchguides. We are building our research guides, so if you don't see one in your discipline, send us a suggestion at ask@suss.libanswers.com.
