This video, from RMIT University, explains what a database is...
If you don’t see a .pdf of the article you want, click FIND IT AT UT to find it in another database or in print in the Libraries.
If it is only in print in the Libraries or we don’t own the article, click GET A SCAN to have the article emailed to you. This option will take a few days.
