Possible Databases

Discover

Discover Search

Discover is a great tool 

  • for beginning and novice researchers
  • you are just getting started and want to explore a topic
  • unsure the direction or more specific topic you want to research
  • want to know which databases hold content on your topic
  • want to know which journals publish content on your topic

Once you have some research perimeters set, it is advisable to leave Discover and conduct your search in one of the Discipline Specific Databases, or Subject Databases. Your results will be much more targeted, PLUS you gain some useful analytics to help you strengthen your research even more.
