Subject-Specific Resources

Subject databases are a type of database that focuses on a particular academic major, field, or topic area. For exmple, CINAHL is the definitive research tool for nursing and allied health professionals, providing full text for more than 1200 journals indexed in CINAHL. Full-text coverage dates back to 1937. The big advantage to using one subject-focused database at a time is that it reduces the number of search results and makes it easier for you to browse through the search results for sources that are specifically relevant to your topic. 

If you'd like to see a comprehensive list of all of the databases that are provided by the library, please visit the databases page for an alphabetical list of all of our databases.

If you would like to do a more general search using OneSearch, which is a discovery tool that allows you to search almost all of the library databases we off at the same time, please click on the advanced search tab to the left of the subject specific resources tab.

For faculty - If you are looking for more information about open access and OER, as well as links to places where you can find more resources, check out the Open Access and OER/FACULTY SELECT guide.

We strive to keep this page updated frequently. If you have any questions, are looking for additional resources not listed here, or find broken links, please contact a member of the library staff.
