Databases collect, organise and index information from journals, books, book chapters, theses and dissertations, magazines, newspapers and other sources.
Search for articles using databases by typing in keywords that describe your topic. Remember to define the topic and think about the key concepts involved. Ask your subject librarian, Sue Rionda for help if needed.
The databases will show lists of journal articles and other materials on your topic, but not all these articles will be available at Rhodes Libraries. If we do not subscribe to the journal, Post Graduate Students and Staff may ask the Interlibrary Loans Department to obtain the article from another library.
Off-campus users (staff and students) should note that they will be prompted for a staff/student barcode and PIN in order to access the library resources.
If you do not have access please register here for your "My Library account" - note that you must select your own PIN & that you must be registered for the current year as a Library user
