The A-Z Database List allows users to find and search individual databases that the library subscribes to. Users can view all the databases alphabetically, search for a database by title, or use the three dropdowns on the A-Z Database List to search for databases by subject, type, or vendor. Hover over the icons next to each database for more information about each one.
Most Useful For
- Searching for subject-specific resources
- Searching for resources within individual databases such as EBSCOhost, Project Muse, JSTOR, etc.
- Determining which databases would be best for your research depending on the subject you are researching, the types of sources you need, or the vendor who provides the database
Cautions
- Requires users to search in each database individually to find sources--can be time-consuming (with a few exceptions, e.g. EBSCOhost)
- Requires users to determine which database would be most appropriate for their research--users who are unsure which database to use should ask library staff for guidance by using the library's online chat or emailing ask@snhu.libanswers.com.
Our Recommendation
Consider using the A - Z Database List primarily when you
- Want to save time by searching in subject-specific, source type-specific, or vendor-specific database for sources
- Have been given a recommended database to use by a professor or librarian
- Are interested in finding a wide variety of source types.
