Databases

The following databases include a range of publications on the subject of Geography and related subject areas.

What are databases?

Databases are large collections of online resources and these can include: academic and trade journals, popular magazines, newspapers, books, conference papers, videos, images or sound recordings.
The University subscribes to lots of databases because each one provides access to different publications.
Some databases are subject specific (e.g. health resources) and others are multidisciplinary.
The contents of most database collections are included in Library Search Ketu (the Library catalogue).
