Unit 3 - Dealing with (empirical) research data

How do I use subject-specific databases?

Specialised databases are a good source of scientific, subject-specific information. In these databases you will find a wide range of content, including literature references, full texts and facts that meet scientific standards.

There are different approaches to making the most of these databases. You can search specialised databases for specific subject areas, use interdisciplinary databases for a more comprehensive overview and use metasearch tools to find relevant subject databases.

The subject librarians at the ThULB can help you use subject-specific databases.
You can find them on the ThULB website under "Subject related services" and there under "Contact".
