Choosing a Database

Databases at UT cover a wide range of subjects and contain a wide range of materials, including popular and scholarly articles, newspapers, images, videos, etc. 

You can search in databases that are multidisciplinary or subject-specific:

Type of Database About Start Here

  • Include popular and scholarly articles on all topics
  • Useful if scholars from multiple disciplines would write about your topic or if you don't know where to start
  • Great for assignments in UGS!

  • To choose a database, think about what department on campus would have scholars researching your topic (ex. PsycINFO for Psychology topics)
