More TCNJ Library Database Info

  • 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.
