... in databases

Academic databases allow you to search for resources in a particular subject field or on an interdisciplinary topic. They contain journal articles, papers, book chapters, books, data, etc., including those which are not in our own holdings. The full text is also frequently linked. 

Our Database Information System (DBIS) helps you find the right database for your topic.

... in academic search engines

An academic search engine like Google Scholar is a good place to start when searching for subject resources. You can easily conduct an interdisciplinary search for articles, papers and books and the full text is often linked. Unlike databases, however, these search engines offer a limited search function.

Tip: Click on the link “Cited by” located under the search result to find more recent literature on a similar topic.
