The Library provides several databases and other research tools, covering a wide variety of subject areas, but it can be hard to know where to begin.

Here are some ways you can find the best databases for your subject:

Databases List

If you know the title of the database, find it on our Databases List, which includes all the databases we've licensed for use by RDP students, faculty, and staff. You can also use the Databases List to find all databases on a specific subject.

Subject Guides

We have a subject guide for every subject area taught at RDP. Find our subject guides by going to the Library Homepage and clicking the link for Subject Guides, either in the Research & Citation menu or in the main page content. This takes you to a list of all our subject guides and you can choose the most appropriate one from the list.

Once you're at a specific subject guide, look for the Key Resources box and choose the database you feel is the best fit for your topic.

LibrarySearch

Our Library catalogue, LibrarySearch is a one-stop shop for full-text articles, books, and more, searching almost all of our databases at once.

Search the Library Catalogue from the Library homepage and all the subject guides.
