The library subscribes to hundreds of specialized databases on subject areas ranging from engineering to art history. Here's how to begin using subject-specific databases:
Search a collection of important scholarly journals representing a range of disciplines.
Search for scholarly literature from a range of disciplines; many articles available through Duke Libraries. Add Duke Libraries under 'Library Links' in your GS settings.
Search for journal articles in the humanities and social sciences published by university presses, including the Duke University Press
Google and other search engines allow you to search the surface web returning search results for millions of websites. Most research and scholarly content is not searchable by general search engines. Library catalogs and specialized research databases allow you to search the deep web which includes millions of pages from scholarly publications.
Can't find the article? Request articles that Duke doesn't own using interlibrary requests.
