A database is a repository of materials, usually curated around a subject or format. NYU Libraries subscribes to over 1400 databases for you to search within.
When you are doing in-depth searching on a specific research topic, it can be helpful to browse for a database that specifically caters to your needs. For example, if you need to find newspaper articles, or are doing a sociology project, you can look up a specific database that specializes in those areas.
Many, but not all, of our databases are searchable from the Library Catalog Search. That means that you can find all of the materials that we keep in the library, as well as many materials that live in different publishers’ databases and platforms, all from one place.
