The library's databases page can be found on the library's website by clicking on Databases. It is organized two ways: by subject and alphabetical by title.

To browse through the databases by subject, click on drop-down menu. Many databases relevant to CIS students can be found either under "Business/Economics" or "Science/Engineering".

Business and Economics

Here are four popular databases from among the 2 dozen databases in this category.

• ABI/Inform Business Articles
• Business Full Text (WilsonWeb)
• Lexis-Nexis
• Mergent Online

For more information about business databases, visit the Business Research Tutorial Guides.

Science/Engineering

Of the over 2 dozen databases in this category, you have already gotten to know the two e-book databases, Books 24x7 and Safari Tech Books Online. Your professors have probably also told you about ACM and IEEE. There are two other databases that you will find useful:

• Applied Science Full Text
• Compendex (Engineering Village 2)

The demonstration below uses Applied Science Full Text to show how a typical database search is conducted. When you use other databases, you will see variations in their search capabilities.
