Databases are collections of information sources that offer research materials specific to subject disciplines.
First, review how to find databases by subject disciplines.
Then, find video tutorials for Education databases below.
From the library homepage, select the "Databases" tab.
Use the "All Subjects" dropdown menu to see all of the subject areas available.
When researching, think about the subjects that are a part of your topic. What subject areas are included in your topic?
Select subject databases that are relevant to your topic. For example, if you're topic is how does packaging color affect consumer purchasing decisions, you would consider subject databases that cover Marketing and also Psychology.
Many databases have a similar look and feel to "Advanced Searching" in Search@XU with the 3 search boxes and ways to refine your search results. Some have unique interfaces. Please ask a librarian for help navigating any databases that you think may be useful to your research.
After the following introductory video tutorial, find Education database tutorials below.
