Explore the Databases!!!

The Library has approximately 300 Databases on its website. From Academic Search Premier to the Zoological Record, there are many ways to track down info. In addition to an A to Z list, there are databases grouped by subject. When selected, there are a collection of databases clustered for a specific major heading. Also there is the name of the librarian who covers that field and a link to the subject research guide for additional leads on research resources.

One favorite is the Declassified Documents Reference Service. It holds over 70,000 documents declassified by the 1967 Freedom of Information Act. Take some time and explore. (Unfortunately my search into Area 51 yielded no returns, must still be classified.)
