FAQ: How do I find a library database on a specific subject?

Databases can be multidisciplinary (for example: Academic Search Ultimate - EBSCO) or subject-specific (for example: Business Source Ultimate - EBSCO). Sometimes searching in a subject-specific database is the most effective way to find information on a topic you are researching.

Follow these steps to find a database on a specific subject:

1. Locate and open the A-Z Database List link off the Shapiro Library Homepage.
2. Locate and open the drop-down labeled "All Subjects".

   

3. Scroll down the alphabetical listing of database subject groups until you locate the one that best matches your topic (for example: Business, History, Management, Nursing, Statistics, etc.).
4. Click on that subject to view the library databases covering the subject you've selected.
