What Is Online Databases
Online databases consist of thousands of scientific electronic journals that you can rely on when you are doing your research or assignment. Those databases might focus on a specific area(s) or it might be a general one that represents all subjects. Example: “#Science direct” database focuses on engineering, information technology and science while “#Academic Search Premier” database presents a wide range of subjects that includes engineering, computer science, business, economics, political science…etc. To search in these databases you can use either a simple search or advanced search to combine between 2 or more subjects. If you wanted help in searching please ask a library staff or attend one of the workshops that are provided by the Library. To reserve for a workshop please e-mail: Mis Sue
