Find databases listed in the Library Catalogue

You can search for databases listed in the Library Catalogue by clicking on the search button at the top right of this page then entering your query in the Library Catalogue box on the search page. To restrict your search to databases only, select 'databases' instead of 'all items' from the form's drop down menu.

Your query may be all or part of a title, publisher or simply subject keywords.

Note: this will not search the actual contents of the database. You will need to use the search facility of the particular service once you have identified an appropriate database, although you can search the contents of many of our databases using the Discovery service.
