What are Library Databases?
Databases are online indexes to the contents of journals, magazines, and newspapers. They are what you'd use to find articles on a particular topic. The NMSU Library provides access to over 150 different databases, many of which are subject-specific (ie, business or health).
The following databases will give you a good starting point as you work on your research for this class. If you are not finding what you are looking for, try another database or feel free to ask us!
