Library - OnLine Access - Database Searching

Instructions for bibliographic database searching through the University of Florida Libraries.

• The DATABASE LOCATOR will give several approaches to finding databases and also gives shortcuts to a cheatsheet to optimize your search results. 

Another approach is from this page "Finding Databases and Electronic Resources"   This connection may be found on the UF Libraries home page or on the Database Locator page.
