Why are there so many different databases?
Why are there so many different databases, and how can a patron use them? They seem confusing and hard to figure out.
Answer: Many of the databases cover specific fields or disciplines. Our databases were selected to support the curriculum at NSU. One database can not contain all of the information that is published. It would also be an unwieldy and difficult database to search. A good general journal index is Ebsco’s Academic Search Premier. A good magazine database is Ebsco’s Masterfile Premier.
For specialized databases, use the Subject Database listing. Use the search guides and help screens on the database. For further assistance, ask the librarian that works with that discipline.
Top Use Databases at NSU:
