Architecture (ARCH): Databases

Databases help you find journal articles, images and video tutorials. Below are selected key databases to assist you with your discovery and research.

Some tips to keep in mind: 

• Often, you can search multiple databases at once
• Think creatively about terms and try different permutations (e.g., some articles/databases might use “motor vehicles” while some might use “cars”)
• Keep a list where you document what terms you searched and where (in which database, catalog, website, etc.) you searched them
• Use Boolean operators to construct a powerful search
