EDotW part 3 OhioLINK Databases

By Robert Jacoby

OhioLINK is much more than a super catalog of Ohio colleges & universities library holdings. It also features many databases. You can search via Subject, Type or Name or just do a Quick Search.

Quick Search allows the user to search for articles in all databases, or predefined areas, such as political science, law and government (as one database) or business.

Subject searching allows one to bring up various databases on a single subject. For instance the Law and Legislation subject heading brings up databases such as Criminal Justice Abstracts.

Type searching allows one to search for books or articles. There is also Facts and Stats, which takes a user to various encyclopedias and dictionaries.

Name will take you directly to a single database which is handy once you are familiar with the databases and you know which one you want to search.

Later on, I'll delve more deeply into specific databases.
