| A library database is a specialized, online collection of resources that includes high-quality, reliable information such as academic journal articles, e-books, research studies, and more. Depending on the database you search, you may also find subscription-based news and magazine articles, theses and dissertations, systematic review registries, and/or select government documents - which have been carefully selected, reviewed, and curated - and which you can search and filter with advanced functionality not found on the internet, such as being able to limit by subject. |
Library databases often specialize in particular disciplines - meaning that the content will be focused on one or possibly a small set of inter-related subjects, including nursing and psychology!

The premier database for nursing and allied health is CINAHL complete - which provides high-quality, peer-reviewed research articles for 50 specialties, including psychology and psychiatry.
