A-Z Databases

The library pays for you to be able to use high quality information collected together into databases. In library research, a database is where you find journal articles, images, films; TV and radio programmes and specialist subject information. Each database contains thousands of items which you can search simultaneously and quickly to find the most recent or most relevant information. If the database has a Discover

icon, you can use this search tool to find what you need. Remember if ever you can’t find what you are searching for, do ask one of the library staff.
