NMSU Library Databases

What are Library Databases?

The 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 has access to nearly 150 different databases, many of which are subject-specific.  However, there are many that are very useful for basic research needs.
