Beginning Research Tutorial

A tutorial on how to research information sources for assignments.

Our faculty librarians have carefully curated the hundreds of databases we subscribe to in order to make finding the right one easy! To find and choose a database by name, click on the Databases & More button in the OneSearch tool in the Adelphi University Libraries Website.

If you know the name of a database you want to use, such as "Academic Search Complete" or "Research Library," type it in the search box.
