About Comprehensive Databases

Click on one of the database logos below to access one of the three comprehensive databases!


Our comprehensive databases, ProQuest Central, EBSCOhost, and Gale, are great places to begin any research project. If you are not sure where to start, try searching in one of these three databases. Each covers a variety of subjects and topics, and you will be able to locate credible sources within them. Later on, you can refine your searches once you strengthen your research skills.

For beginning researchers, it is best to use comprehensive databases. Once you begin conducting more specific research within your major, you can expand into more specialized databases.

Comprehensive Databases
