Library databases contain the high quality content you need for academic research. The trick is knowing how to find it quickly and painlessly.

While many databases share a similar interface, to get the most out of your search, it's a good idea to learn the tips and tricks of each one. Most databases contain help pages and can be conveniently accessed directly from the library's website (see previous post: "How do I search this database"). Now we've gone one step further - we've compiled a list of databases that have Video Tutorials that demonstrate how to conduct an effective search. In addition, we've also listed tutorials that explore more advanced research topics such as citation searching and research impact.

While these videos may not be as entertaining as watching a panda sneeze, they can save you time and effort during your next research project!
