Gutman Library subscribes to several different database systems.  Until you are familiar with the scope and content of the  databases available,  reading the database descriptions is how you can best help yourself choose an appropriate database for your research.

Look at How to Select a Database to Find Articles for more information, and also, please ask Librarians for help, they are very familiar with the differences between the databases, and can save you much time and energy.

Here are they types of information you can find in the databases available through the Library:

• Articles in magazines, journals and newspapers - Using online periodical database systems like ProQuest, Lexis Nexis, and EBSCO requires some knowledge of the types of publications these databases contain. Different databases draw upon different types of source material: for example, Lexis Nexis' World News grouping contains articles from news sources and news desks from around the globe.  If you are to use only academic / scholarly types of publications, using an online journal collection or selecting for "Peer Reviewed" or "Scholarly Publications" in one of the other online database systems would be a better idea.
   
• Online Journal Collections - Gutman Library's online journal collections include: Emerald, SpringerLink, ScienceDirect College Edition and Project Muse. We have selected full text from these collections. We have entirely full text from the American Chemical Society (ACS) Journals collection.
   
• Encyclopedias and Reference Materials - Encyclopedias can be either general or subject-specific, like Access Science, Oxford Art Online, or Harrison's Online, which is an online version of a medical reference text.
   
• Special Databases: Gutman Library also has resources like the online version of Women's Wear Daily (WWD), specialized indexes to particular subject areas, such as the Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals, and extremely specialized tools, such as CCH Tax Network, for our Taxation students.
