Instructions on Research Databases

  • Explore OhioLINK Databases by subject, type, or name.
  • If you know your subject and want to search a single database in depth, go to OhioLINK Databases By Subject; then choose the subject category that best suits your topic.
  • If you know a specific database by its title, go to OhioLINK Databases By Name.
  • After making your selection, move the cursor to the right, and click the appropriate category.
  • Type a keyword term and search for articles.
  • Look for links to electronic full text. In most databases, the link Find a Copy looks for electronic full text in other sources, including other OhioLINK databases and library e-journal subscriptions. It also indicates whether your own library subscribes to the journal in print or electronically.
  • If you cannot find an article in any format, contact the Interlibrary Loan department of your library.
