JSTOR
- From the library Web site, you can select
databases by their names or by a broad subject or academic discipline appropriate
for a topic you need to research.
- When you select a subject, you will see a list of databases
with symbols indicating how the databases can be accessed, and other
important information about them.
- A description of the contents of a given database appears on a page that also includes a link to the
database. Years of coverage for the
database are included in this description as well as other useful information
about the database.
- A database can change the way it looks and
the way it can be searched (its "interface") overnight. The librarians
try to keep informed about upcoming changes of this type in the
databases to which the library subscribes. Ask a reference librarian for assistance if you encounter an unexpected interface or problem.
- Finally: This tutorial module
refers to databases you search as "periodical databases" . This is because
most of the database research that students do, using the TCNJ
library (other than research they do using the library catalog), is in databases that primarily index
periodicals.
