Databases

Databases

Galileo, General Databases, and Subject Databases 

Galileo Discover

Watch the video below for an introduction to Galileo and how to use it to find sources. 

Galileo Discover searches "most" of the databases offered to Georgia Highlands students. Remember to be selective when choosing key words to conduct your searches. Discover can be cumbersome at times. So if you have any questions, please reach out to one of your friendly GHC librarians!

 

General Databases

General Databases

Use general databases to: 

Browse and start the search process.    Perform multi-diciplinary searches.

Find information when there is no clear discipline.    Find information about any general topic.

Periodicals

You will find articles from periodicals while searching Galileo, but if you want to search a specific publication, you can do so through Gil Find's Find Journals Tab. 

1. Search for the periodical you are looking for. 

2. Click Online Access.

3. Select one of the available options to access the periodical.

4. Search within the periodical.

 

 

Subject Databases

Subject Databases

Use subject databases to: 

Comprehensively search within a discipline.           Find Articles about obscure or under-studied topics.

Limit your search to scholarly articles.           Conduct in-depth research.                   

You can search a list of all databases on the Databases A-Z page. I have provided a list of a few that might be helpful for your assignment below.
