Databases identify journal articles, books, conference proceedings, reports, and other materials. There are three ways to find databases on the library homepage:
OneSearch - provides a comprehensive search of many databases and other resources. It is a great place to begin your research, but remember there are many specialized databases that provide even more depth in particular topics.
Research Guides - links to over 100 subject guides in areas taught at UWF. Provides access to relevant databases and other research sources in these subject areas.
Databases by Subject - lists subjects and representative databases that are relevant to those subjects.
A-Z Database List - lists over 300 databases alphabetically by title and by subject
