Q. Where can I find relevant databases for my subject or course?

Check out our useful subject guides which can signpost you to key databases and useful web resources. You can search databases via StarPlus and Database A-Z (Database Discovery).

A curated list of relevant databases for your subject is available in the 'Discovering' tab of these guides. On the ‘Welcome’ tab, there are also contact details for your Liaison Librarian. You can book an appointment with them if you wish to discuss, or seek assistance with, recommended databases and search techniques.

Further help is also available on selecting and searching databases. There are:

• Video guides to using the databases you need for your course, including Scopus, Medline, Nexis, and IEEE Xplore.

• Tutorials to help you successfully create a search strategy. 

• Discovering Information workshops in which you will learn how to use databases to find the best resources for your independent research project. You can view all upcoming Research skills and critical thinking workshops on the library website.

Additionally, there are more general guides available for finding and using: standards; maps; newspapers; statistics; government information; company and business information; and patents.
