TCNJ Library Database Info

PsycINFO | Academic Search Premier | ERIC

  • The library subscribes, on an annual basis, to about 100 databases. Databases are added based on money available and the needs of the campus community.
  • Availability of subscription databases off campus is limited, by the companies that produce them, to use by authorized members of the TCNJ community (current TCNJ students, faculty and staff).
  • A few subscription databases can only be used on campus or in the library building.
  • Some of the library databases do not contain full text of articles; they include only citations, and usually abstracts, for scholarly publications. This is gradually changing as more databases add at least some full text of scholarly publications and connections between databases allow you to easily retrieve full text from another source.
  • Scholarly publications are less likely to be available full text in library databases. Magazines are more likely to be available full text.
  • Some databases, that index scholarly publications, index not only journal articles but book chapters, academic dissertations, research reports, conference proceedings, and other scholarly types of publications.
  • Some databases include resources such as statistics, images ("pictures" and photographs, etc.), encyclopedias, specialized dictionaries, other reference-book-type resources, and more.
