Specialist Databases

The library subscribes to a range of databases which can be accessed from Mylibrary. 

These resources allow access to a varied range of information and services including:

  • Subject specific journal databases i.e. collections of journals, but often including other types of information such as book chapters, conference papers and research papers in a particular subject area e.g. SPORTDiscus (sports and exercise science)
  • Specialist/Themed information e.g. Visible Body (anatomy and physiology) 
  • Specific information types such as Global Newsstream (newspapers) and Box of Broadcasts (TV and radio programmes)
  • Individual resources such as Britannica Online (encyclopedia)
  • Training/skills/alert services such as LinkedIn Learning (video tutorials - business, technology and creative skills) and Cite Them Right Online (referencing).

See below for guidance on how to access these specialist databases.
