Databases - These are electronic indexes that you can search to locate journal articles, books, book chapters, dissertations and conference or proceeding papers. Some databases provide full text access; others only provide you with the citation. The Library owns over 300 databases. Some are very subject specific (e.g. Sociological Abstracts, America: History and Life); others are interdisciplinary (e.g. Expanded Academic, Wilson Select). To access any of the databases from off campus, you will be prompted for a user name and password. Your user name is your ten digit ID # (make sure that you use all ten digits) and your password is your last name in lower-case letters. For additional assistance with this, please go to the instructions for remote access to databases.
