Some assignments will ask you to make use of a library database. Some may even ask you to use a specific library database. For help in figuring out what all of this means, check out our guides:
Databases are large collections of curated content. These could be articles, audio/video recordings or any other number of media types. Make sure to search through as many related databases as possible to find the best resources for your project or interest.
While we don't provide access to databases focused solely on Philosophy, there are many general and related sources that will contain resources for your research and study needs. If you're having trouble narrowing down your search or finding what you need, please email us at askref@uwsuper.edu and we'll help however we can.

They are typically peer-reviewed, meaning they are evaluated, critiqued, and edited prior to publication. The Databases in the A-Z list can aid you searching for and locating articles from journals.
