Finding a specific database

If you know exactly what database you are looking for, the best way to access it is to search for the title of the database in our database list.

You can also find databases by searching for the title in Search It, although it can be trickier. Among your results list, look for the result that is labeled ‘Database.’ Click on the title and look under ‘Access Options’ for the link to enter the database.
