WHAT IS A DATABASE?

Databases contain references to journal articles, chapters in books and in some cases, theses and dissertations in multiple journals for multiple years. Some databases also include the full text of the articles and other items. Access to these databases is paid for by the Library.  Important note:  databases are either discipline-specific or multidisciplinary.  It is important for you, as the researcher, to establish which databases best suit your field of study.

In some cases, only the abstract is available. In this case, you will need to search WorldCat Discovery ('Search all' tab)  to see if the journal is available in UKZN library in print.
 
If the library does not subscribe to the journal, you will need to get a copy of the article from another institution by using the Inter Library Loan facility.
