Databases are searchable indexes of published, reliable resources like scholarly journals, encyclopedias, and newspapers. They provide citation information and often the complete text of articles.

The University Library provides access to over 60 online databases on a wide range of subjects, including business, career and test prep, health, humanities, language learning, literature, news, North Carolina, religion, science, and social sciences.
A handful are highlighted on our Electronic Databases page, and many more can be found through the NC LIVE site.
After clicking a database link, you will be brought to a page where you enter your Shaw credentials to gain access to the resource. The Library uses the same single sign-on used to access Bearsnet and Moodle.
For tips on searching, see the Get Started with Research page. Please contact us if you need assistance with databases.
