What’s the difference between "Research Databases" and "Publications?"

Great question! A library database is an organized collection that you can search to find news or magazine articles, journal articles, book chapters, videos, and other content, while a publication refers to a specific resource such as a particular book, journal, newspaper, or magazine.

To find resources on a specific topic or subject, we suggest you start with our Research Databases to locate specialized materials more quickly. If you want to research a subject but aren't sure what database you should use, review one of our How Do I guides or select from our Subjects for a list of recommended databases.

To find a specific journal, magazine, newspaper, or book by name, search our Publications.
