Databases

Why use databases?

Databases are focused collections of journal articles, ebooks, reports and media.

Use databases when:

  • your searching would benefit from a specific focus, for example, searching within the Informit database for Australian content
  • your assignment asks you to use a database
  • the database holds unique information, for example, Grove Music profiles.

 

Find relevant databases

The best database/s to use depends on your topic area and the type of information you need. 

If you’re not sure where to start, begin by exploring a subject area’s recommended databases. 

All databases can be searched using keywords and results can be refined using filters.  Sign in to access online resources using your UniSQ username and password.
