Activity: Take a moment to explore a database that is specific to your discipline
Let's try a quick search in a database that has content specific to your area of study. Most databases operate similarly, so keep in mind when you're typing in keywords-- less is more. Avoid typing in an entire question.
Activity:
1. On the search box at the top of the library homepage, click on the "Databases" tab.
2. You'll have the option to search for a particular database or to browse databases by subject. Select a subject from the "Browse by subject" menu.
3. You'll see a list of databases for that subject area, usually with a Best Bets section to help get you started.
4. Choose a database from the provided list.
5. Start exploring -- add a few keywords, try an advanced search, set a few limits from the left hand side.
Share your thoughts (2-3 sentences) about using a database that is subject specific. How might this be helpful to you? What questions do you have?
