Two
Types of Databases
2. Subject Databases
- Is your topic
in a particular subject area?
If so, use a
subject database. Subject databases specialize in a particular subject,
and the articles indexed are generally from scholarly sources. Examples
of subject databases and the kinds of articles they identify are:
|
|
PsycINFO provides abstracts and citations to the scholarly literature in the behavioral sciences and mental health. |
|
|
Indexes
articles in world history. |
|
|
Simultaneous searching
of three premier literature resources: Contemporary Authors,
Contemporary Literary Criticism Select, and Dictionary of Literary
Biography. Provides in-depth information on the lives and writings
of nearly 100,000 authors. |
