Library databases are searchable collections of information. They contain articles from quality journals, magazines, and newspapers and other academic information resources.
ATU subscribes to several databases, and your choice will depend entirely on your information needs. This LibGuide focuses on those databases with good content in the area of Applied Social Care.
The Library's discovery system and default search, SEARCH + FIND, will include much material from our subscribed databases, so searching here is always a good place to start. However SEARCH + FIND does not cover every single database, so it is important to have a look at each database individually and to become familiar with how to search them. List of databases.
During the academic year the library provides free trials of databases. They may be new or offering their content on a time limited basis. Check the library Libguide for Free Trials
Or check our Facebook, Blog or Twitter accounts for information on the trials as they come up. You might just find exactly what you need.
Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature.
