Please see our Social Work databases for content specific to this area.
Databases are collections of content, such as journals, articles, and more. Review the description of the database contents in order to select the "best" database for your project. You may see multiple databases with the same name, but they are not duplicates. They contain content from different vendors.
One of the great things about database searches is that it will populate related search terms as you type in the search box. Take advantage of those suggestions to broaden or narrow your search. We also recommend using the "Full Text" filter. This will update your results to show complete items and remove results that are just abstracts or descriptions of a full article that isn't available.
