 Hi my name is Alex. I'm a librarian at the University of Alabama and today I'm going to show you how to find databases on the library's website. The University of Alabama libraries provide access to over 600 databases. We have everything from databases for academic journal articles to databases of streaming movies. To get started finding these databases go to the library's website at lib.ua.edu and click on the databases link in the quick links bar. Because we have so many databases I wouldn't really recommend browsing. However you can do a quick browse by looking at some of our most popular databases. There is a databases search bar on the right hand side of the screen. If you know a database by name a title search is pretty easy. You could do a keyword search but if you're looking for databases for a certain subject class or major you're really better off using the subjects drop-down. Now we're looking at 40 databases that would be good for engineering. You'll see some of the best bets at the top of the screen. These are basically just databases that we consider to be especially good for engineering. You'll also see who the research librarians for this subject are and you can find their contact information if you need some extra research help. You'll also find certain types of databases by using the database types drop-down. You'll find ebook databases journal article databases and newspaper databases among others. Finally you can find databases by certain publishers if you use the publishers drop-down. That's all for now. If you have any questions you can call us text us or visit ask.lib.ua.edu to ask a librarian.
