Once you have figured out your topic, you need to be able to search for articles, books, and other resources. A database, sometimes called an index, is a searchable collection of articles, book chapters, and/ or primary sources.
Use the UNLV University Libraries extensive selection of research databases in order to find articles, book chapters, and/or other materials about your topic.
Some databases are subject-specific. Below are some of the most useful databases to assist you in locating articles on leadership and organizational theory in the context of emergency management.
Take the Finding Articles Tutorial for more information on how to use a database.
Below is a list of interdisciplinary entertainment-related databases.
Many databases have the full-text of articles available to print out or save to a disk. Even if full-text is not available in the database you are searching, it may be available elsewhere in the library. The next section of the module includes tips on how to find the full-text of articles.
