What is a database?

Databases are collections of references to journal articles, chapters in books, book reviews, conference proceedings, reports and in some cases, theses and dissertations.

In many cases databases include the full text of journal articles. Access to these databases is paid for by the University.


In some cases only the abstract is available. In this case, you will need to search World Cat Local ('Search all' tab)  to see if the journal is available in UKZN library in print.
 
If the library does not subscribe to the journal you will need to get a copy of the article from another institution by using the Inter Library Loan facility.
 
Databases A-Z provides links to all of UKZN's subscription databases.

Online databases are most useful for finding articles when you do not know in which journals articles are published.
 
Some databases are multidisciplinary and cover a wide range of subjects e.g. Academic Search Complete via EbscoHost; while others are subject specific, covering a particular subject or discipline e.g. PsycInfo via EbscoHost.
 
Other databases are limited to particular geographic areas, Sabinet covers Africa, particularly Sub-Saharan Africa.

Open access journal databases


Some examples:
