Not all important databases are available through Google, and many do not use a similar search algorithm. There are real differences in the way scholarly literature databases are structured, and the distinctions are important. Knowing these details makes it possible to search in advanced ways.

Spending time with a librarian now can save you time when you need to do research in the future. We can teach you how to get the most from our database subscriptions and other resources like electronic journals.

Here are a few ways to receive instruction from our librarians:

  • Individuals can easily schedule a time to meet.
  • Instructors can arrange for a class meeting.
  • No time to meet? We understand! Browse our ask a librarian pages to see FAQs, How-to guides, and more.
