A-Z Online Academic Databases

Library E-Resources

An online academic database is a digital collection or repository of academic and scholarly resources, typically hosted on the internet. These databases are designed to provide easy access to a wide range of academic materials, including scholarly articles, research papers, books, conference proceedings, theses, and other educational resources.

The UEW Library has subscriptions to many online databases that can be used to find articles, books, statistics, data, and other resources necessary for your research.
