The databases on the Library Portal are a rich source of information, data, and research for your studies and we’re making them better and easier to use.
A comprehensive overview
No matter how you access our library databases, through your subject guide or the A-Z on the Library Portal, you’ll now find dedicated pages for each database to help you make the most of them.
Each page includes:
A clear description of what the database is
The types of content it offers (e.g. eBooks, articles, case studies, videos, reports)
Whether it’s included in the main Library Search
Accessibility information
Terms of use
Help and guidance
Now it’s easier than ever to find exactly what you’re looking for!
Accessibility support
We've added detailed accessibility overviews and key links for each database, so you can quickly find information such as:
Which built-in accessibility features are available, and which tools work with browser extensions or assistive software
Whether content can be downloaded and accessed offline
What navigation options are provided to support ease of use
Everything you need to know to make your research experience more accessible and user-friendly.
Terms of use
You’ll also find the terms of use for each database so you know how to use them appropriately and ethically, confident that you’re not compromising your academic integrity.
More help to use databases
We’ve even included details of relevant Learning Success Hub workshops so if you want some guidance or support with using databases and improving your search skills, you’ll know where to go next.
