Information resources guide: Databases

Databases subscribed by the Library

The Library subscribes to more than one hundred databases on a wide range of topics that cover the teaching areas of the University. To get to the list of databases you'll need to access Océano and click on the "Databases A-Z" link at the top of the page, or select one of the highlighted databases.

Most databases require a subscription, so in order to access them from off campus you'll need to use the Remote Access link.
