WHY: Once you have a good handle on your research topic it might be best to do targeted searches in databases that are designed for your subject.
Steps:
On the library home page click Articles and Databases
You can search by subject, click the top left menu drop down to pick your subject area
Bring up databases to search your topic on specifically using techniques from previous lessons
Note the librarians on the right hand side that have hyperlinked info so you could reach out to chat with them.
Good news! You use databases all the time!
A database is just a collection of resources.
For example: Netflix and Youtube are databases filled with videos. Amazon is a database filled with items to purchase.
The Library's OneSearch is like a smart TV, searching accross multiple scholarly databases. You can also go into individual databases and do searches.
