SUNY Geneseo has access to over 200 databases. Some databases, such as Academic Search Complete, ArticleFirst, JSTOR, and ProQuest Research Library are multidisciplinary, meaning they contain material on a wide range of subjects. These databases can be a good place to begin your research regardless of your topic.

However, to continue your research you may want to check out additional databases that contain materials more specific to your discipline.

  • On the library's homepage, under "Research Tools," click "Databases."
  • You will see a list of Databases by Subject. 
  • Identify and click on the subject that pertains to your research.

Additionally, many Library Research Guides have a "Recommended Resources" section that includes a list of databases or other resources that will lead you to materials within that specific discipline. Please note that some courses will have their own dedicated Research Guide, which will provide the best information for that specific course.

  • On the library's homepage, under "Research Tools," click "Research Guides." 
  • You will see a list of Guides by Subject. 
  • Identify and click on the subject that pertains to your research. 

If you already know the name of the database you would like to search, you can go directly to that database using the A-Z Databases list. This link can be found on the library homepage under "Research Tools" > "Databases."
