What is it?
A database is an electronic (online) collection of information about journal articles, books, and other research materials. Many databases include or link to full-text articles. Some have only abstracts or citations (these are often referred to as “Indexes”).
How to Search:
Databases can be searched by one or more fields such as title, author, subject, or keyword. You can usually add restrictions such as year of publication, language, peer-reviewed ("scholarly"), or full-text to further narrow your search. Often you will need to select "advanced search" to take advantage of these tools.
Databases that Seton Hall libraries subscribe to are found on the Seton Hall University Libraries A-Z Databases link or the library homepage.
