Tutorial: Finding Databases: Finding a Database

Need to do a more comprehensive or in-depth search? Not sure where to start? Browse or search for our top subject databases by name or keyword using the Databases* link under the main search box (or try the catalog to find all databases)! 

Also try our Library Guides to find resources for your specific subject or course!

*Databases are collections of articles (or other materials), either general or subject-specific, which often include material not available on the open Web and give you additional tools for more comprehensive or precise searching.

NOTE: The Articles & Full Text link will search within most of the article databases (and ebooks) Cornell has access to; however, the Databases link only finds the titles of specific databases, not their contents.

NOTE: From the main search box at library.cornell.edu, you can also search for database titles.

In your results, we'll suggest Best Bets that most closely match your search from our top databases or click on Databases to jump to a list of databases that match your search. Click on the database title to enter it and start searching.
