Library databases are online resources you can search to find reliable information from trusted sources. Databases can be general or subject specific and can include a wide range of content including full text journal articles, ebooks, reports, abstracts, conference proceedings etc.
Library Search is a database of databases and allows you to search the content of most databases in one go.
The databases listed below are databases which are particularly relevant to your subject.
