Computer Science: Databases

Introduction

Databases contain large amounts of data including (but not limited to) statistics, bibliographic information, images, and abstracts.

Bibliographic databases are a useful tool for finding scholarly literature in your subject area. This includes (but is not limited to) journal articles, conference proceedings, and books. They are very useful to consult when carrying out your own research because:

  • they provide powerful search functionality
  • have citation tools
  • have thesauri
  • their content is selected by experts in your subject

Bibliographic databases are helpful when you want to start exploring beyond your reading list or are researching a new topic.

On this page, you will find recommended databases and guidance on how to search for and access databases.
