What are Research Starter databases?
Answer
Research Starter databases are collections of articles and other materials that can help you get started with your research assignment. They are designed to be explored and browsed, helping you discover ideas, keywords, and potential sources that you might not otherwise have found.
From the list, select a Research Starter database that would be most likely to have information on your topic. Read the descriptions provided if you are unsure. Keep in mind that some Research Starter databases contain only "reference" information - in other words, encyclopedia and handbook types of sources that are excellent to read and help you understand your topic, but they might not be sources you can quote and cite for your assignment. Ask your professor if you are unsure whether subject-specific encyclopedias can be used as sources for your assignment.
