Articles and Databases
Articles can be found in the library's databases. Library databases are searchable, contain citation information (author, title, publisher, abstract, date published, etc) and often contain full-text articles. Databases can be multi-disciplinary covering many subjects or they can be subject-specific focusing on a specific area of study.
Environmental databases:
- Environment Complete This link opens in a new windowFull-text resources relevant to environmental studies.
- GreenFile This link opens in a new windowIndex and abstracts for global warming, green building, pollution, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, recycling & more.
Religion database:
- Religion and Philosophy Collection This link opens in a new windowIndex, abstracts, and full text of articles relating to religion and philosophy.
Combining databases:
For topics that include elements that are part of various discipline's subject-specific databases, or to search across all of the subject-specific databases for a particular subject (example: there are multiple education databases and multiple environmental databases), databases that use the same platform allow users to create custom databases combinations to fit their specific needs. Most of Heterick's databases use the EBSCO platform, so most of them can be combined for a search that is broader than a single database but not as broad as SearchONU.
