Databases
The library's databases are paid subscriptions, purchased by NOVA at no additional cost to students, which provide students with access to research materials that are not available on public search engines, such as Google.
Academic databases contain full-text scholarly journal articles, periodicals, newspapers, magazines, and eBooks. Scholarly journal articles are more reliable than simply browsing the internet because they are peer-reviewed.
The customized list below serves as a starting point for the databases which are most likely to assist your research in this class.
