We use databases daily to find and access information such as navigating Netflix for film/TV, Spotify for music, even searching contacts on your phone.

For academic assignments, the Library provides access to databases that allow you to explore the research literature in your subject area to discover new developments and arguments, how your subject area changed over time and what might the future hold.
