A database is a collection of abstracts, indexes, full text documents (ebooks, articles, statistics, conference papers), or digital media (images, video, audio, maps). Content is created and managed by publishers and / or indexing services, and searching is hosted by their own licensed platform or database vendors like Ebsco and ProQuest.
While some databases are broad and multi-disciplinary in scope, most specialize in a given subject area. Click the Databases tab on the Library homepage and choose from the "Select a Subject" list for a shortlist of recommended databases, or use the A-Z listing if you have a specific database in mind.
Discover is an option that allows you to search across all physical / electronic library materials and most databases all at once.
This database features the full text of thousands of books on economics and business published between 1453 and 1914. The collection includes world history, political science, philosophy, business, economics, law, and women's studies from the Goldsmiths'-Kress Collection, the Goldsmiths' Library of Economic Literature and the Seligman Collection.
