Research Databases
Find the best database for your research. Filter this list by subject or type (article database, clinical database, streaming video, etc.) to find a resource that best suits your needs. Or consult our Research Guides.
This resource is a multidisciplinary database that provides access to scholarly journal literature across all disciplines, as well as magazine articles and some newspaper articles. It is a recommended starting point for research on any subject, and very useful for topics that span disciplines. It includes some full text as well as links to full text.
This resource provides access to scholarly literature including articles, theses, books, abstracts, court opinions, technical reports, patents and many other document types. Google Scholar's coverage is extremely broad and sometimes more up-to-date than other databases - but its non-selective coverage may include lower-quality publications.
This link to Google Scholar will enable UVM affiliates to easily link through to materials to which we have access.
This free resource comprises citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books.

This resource is developed and maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM).
The following databases are newly acquired or being evaluated for a future subscription.
