Help! I can't find a database for my inquiry/research topic
Answer
One of the first steps to researching and finding sources is to pick a database or other search tool from the A to Z list that fits your topic. This can sometimes be a challenge if your topic's main concepts do not match the database titles themselves, but this does not mean that there are not good databases to search in.
- Try searching in one of these databases, they have a wide range of materials and are a great starting place:
