General Databases
IU Libraries subscribes to many databases where you can find a variety of articles. Some databases are very general, and can be a good place to start your research. Others are more specific for when you're ready for narrower results (to view these, see "Databases by Topic" to the left). The following are my top recommendations for starting your research!
- Web of ScienceWeb of Science is great especially for Physical Geography. One of my favorite features is the citation tracking that allows you to see how often a paper has been cited, and by who. This is a nice way to start to learn about major authors and papers in a field.
- OneSearch@IUOneSearch searches the library catalog and a wide variety of databases. This can be great for getting a lot of results, but sometimes gives too many options to be useful. I like using OneSearch to help discover which journals or publications might be relevant to my topic.
- ScopusReally helpful for finding citations, though the full text isn't always linked or available.
- JSTORFull-text of historical runs of important scholarly journals in the humanities, arts, sciences, ecology, and business.
- ProQuest Social SciencesAllows users to simultaneously search a collection of ProQuest Social Science databases.
- GeoRefIndex to earth science articles in journals and books, as well as books, maps, government publications, conference proceedings, technical reports, theses and dissertations.
