So, how have you been searching for databases for your studies so far?
Have you been using the link from myEd? 
Or perhaps going straight to the Databases A-Z list or by subject?
Well, now there is another way that is user friendly and hopefully can increase your engagement with using databases. A Library Databases search went live a few weeks ago. Its aim is to improve the way you search for databases; you can either search by name (if you already know the name of the database you want to access) or by subject. Using either way, will limit the results in DiscoverEd to the ones that are most relevant.
Here are two examples:
a) if you want to search for Westlaw, you type the name of the database and click on the search button. As soon as you do that, you will be directed to the Westlaw link in DiscoverEd 
b) if you don’t know which database you want to access but instead search by subject, then you will get a list of databases that are relevant to the subject term you inserted. In this example, I used ‘law’. 
In both cases, please remember to sign in before you go any further so that you can access all the material we are subscribed to.
The usage of this new featured will be monitored over the next few months (in comparison to the Databases A-Z for example) and if you find it useful, any feedback will be welcomed.
Till then, happy searching and be in touch with any comments!
