Databases are subscription resources that bring journal articles, book chapters, books, research reports, dissertations and other types of materials from a variety of sources into one place with a sophisticated search engine.
The databases listed below are core Government and Politics databases. But, there are many other databases to use depending on the focus of your research. Locate additional databases by browsing the Databases by Type or Subject.
Databases from the same vendor/publisher should be searched together to weed out duplicate materials. See the tab: Searching Multiple Databases.
