Identifies different parts of a citation from a database.
From Yavapai College Library.
There are countless databases dedicated to helping researchers find articles on any topic under the sun. Most of them have added features that you won't find in Google Scholar, such as controlled subject headings, filtering, and the ability to capture multiple citations at once. These databases are not free, so they are not accessible to Google's robot searchers. The IU Libraries provides them exclusively to IU staff, students, and faculty. Make the most of them!
The box below lists several subject databases for finding secondary literature in history. Choose the one that matches your topic and period.
Bibliographic database focusing on the history and life of the United States and Canada, indexing more than 1,800 journals published, dissertations and reviews.
In addition to the principle English language sources in the field, it includes some (about 10%) in other languages, as well as some state and local history journals. All aspects of historical inquiry are represented: diplomatic, ecclesiastical, agricultural, cultural, economic, political, military and others. The index also provides citations to book and media reviews from about 100 journals and references to abstracts of dissertations in the field. All abstracts are in English.
