Databases and database tutorials
The following are a good starting point for your research. Choose your discipline below for more specific databases
Why use databases?
Library Search and Google Scholar are useful places to begin your search as they provide an excellent overview of the information available on a topic. The limitation with both of these sites is they are unable to find a comprehensive range of information on a topic that a specialised database is able to provide.
Specialist subject databases will facilitate complex searches and provide a thorough range of reputable research material on a topic.
