What makes the library any better than just searching Google?

The Library's research databases contain high quality information that is usually not available online for free. Additionally, information in our research databases are indexed, which means that they have been assigned subjects and other metadata which can make finding information related to your topic easier, and they often include specialized filters that aren't available on Google.

Since research databases don't interpret searches the same way that Google does, it can be daunting to search in them for the first time. The Library offers a variety of research guides to help you find information in the library's database, and our team of librarians is always happy to assist you with navigating the library's research databases.
