Searching Specific Library Databases

Even though OneSearch can help you discover most of the Library's resources, you may still want to make use of our subject-specific databases.


When you search our subject-specific databases you should retrieve fewer, more relevant results on your topic. You can select databases within your subject area from the Egan Library's A-Z list of databases.
