Library databases
The Library provides both subject-specific and interdisciplinary databases which enable access to online journal articles, references to resources and audio visual content.
Many databases can be searched through Library Search but it can be useful to search some databases independently. Currently most of our audio-visual resources need to searched separately.
Check our A-Z list of databases.
For subject specific databases see Subject Guides for information.
