Subject Databases

Subject Databases:

Sometimes Discover is not the best choice for searching. Subject Specific databases will provide much more targeted results for many topics within a discipline. For example, if your topic deals with Environmental Issues of any source, then Environment Complete will be a stronger option than Discover. This list of subject databases for Biology is not exhaustive. If you are having trouble with your topic, or don't know where to start, please contact your liaison librarians.

Discover Search

Discover is a great search option when you are just beginning to explore a topic and want to see what kinds of materials are available. It is broad in scope and therefore, you should expect a lot of results. Using the proper limiters will be important to achieving a strong result in Discover. If you need help, please contact your liaison librarians.
