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:

A-Z List

If you know the title of the database, find it on our A-Z List, where all the databases we've licensed for use by RDP students, faculty, and staff are listed. You can also use the A-Z 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, in the Research Guides box. The complete list of all our subject guides will appear, 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.
