Library Databases -- Consult "Community Studies -- Information on the Web" for commonly used resources in community studies. For this class, additional resources may be found by consulting Library Subject Guides for other fields in the arts, humanities, and sciences. Identify those databases that match your topic best in subject, date coverage, or other aspects. For citation-only databases, use UC-LINKS (if offered) or open a second browser to CRUZCAT. All of these databases provide keyword searching (often providing options to focus the search on the full-text when available, the abstract, the title, or other features). As when searching for books, examination of the subject terms assigned to relevant articles (sometimes called descriptors) may be useful in finding additional citations or in narrowing your search results.
