Publication Types & Sources

Consider what type of literature (journal articles, books, case studies etc.) you are looking for as the type of literature determines the database you should use. You will find databases in this library guide in the menu Find Literature ordered by name and by publication type. Our Databases A-Z lists all available search sources.

Tips to identify whether a source is relevant:

  • Who provides the database?

  • Which topics are covered by the database? 

  • Which journals or books are searchable
