Multidisciplinary Databases (all subjects relevant to the program)
Business-focused databases
Platforms for specific publishers
Note that these platforms do not allow advanced Boolean searching to the same degree as general research databases, so are not recommended for most purposes. However, they do allow searches of the full-text of articles, which can be useful in particular cases in comprehensive searching.
Medical and Health Databases
Unlike Google, library databases and the library's catalogue and discovery tool Omni don't automatically correct your spelling, find related terms, find all possible word endings, or combine your terms.
Here are some search tips that you can use to find articles and other resources when searching the Library's collection in Omni or using Library databases (such as ProQuest One Business or Business Source Complete):
Symbol | Description | Action | Example |
AND |
Boolean operator |
|
economy AND finance |
OR |
Boolean operator |
Searches for articles that contain at least one of the terms. |
enterprise OR business OR corporation |
" " |
Quotation Marks |
Search for articles that contain an exact phrase. |
"corporate social responsibility" |
* | Asterisk | Add to the root of a word to find alternate word endings. For example, use manag* to retrieve results with manage, manages, managing, management, managerial, manager, managers etc. |
manag*
|
( ) |
Parentheses |
Groups terms together to indicate the order in which the database should process any Boolean operators used. Terms in parentheses are processed first. If you do not use parentheses, most databases will process AND before OR. |
(management OR business) AND consulting |
