Searching Within Databases

If you already know what topic you want to research and a few key terms to begin your searching process, using a database can be an efficient way to find resources. Several databases have been highlighted as potentially useful databases for Astronomy research and are linked on the following pages.

You can also navigate to a database from our A-Z List using the following steps:

• Go to the Library Homepage
• Select the "Databases" tab on the main search bar
• Search for your database using the search bar or by selecting the first letter of the database's name, or choose "Browse by Subject" to see a recommended list of databases for your subject area

If you are off campus, you will be asked to log in. Students will use their MyLeo credentials, and Faculty/Staff will use their AD login (lastnamefirstname and password).

On the following pages, you will find selected resources for astronomy research available through Velma K. Waters Library or with open access through other scholarly organizations. These include scholarly articles, pre-prints, and eBooks.
