While our OneSearch searches pretty much all of our resources at once, our databases allow you to focus in on a specific discipline or subject. For example, if you want information on the psychological effects of working from home you can search a psychology database to get that specific perspective.
Type | Definition |
Multi-disciplinary | Multiple disciplines or subjects are covered in one database, multiple formats might be included (books, films, articles, images) |
Disciplinary | The database covers one discipline, may have multiple formats (articles, images, etc) but all content will be related to the specific discipline. |
Format Specific | Could be multi-disciplinary or discipline-specific but all content will be in the same format (ex: streaming video) |
