The online databases are subscribed to by SJR State and the State of Florida for use by current students, faculty, and staff. The databases provide full-text articles from magazines and journals and may also include reference book articles, pamphlets, ebooks, and citations to articles which you may request from other libraries.
To access the databases, log in to My SJRstate. Once you have logged in, click the Library tab, then click the "Connect to online databases" link.
You will see 9 categories of databases. Click a category to view the full list of databases. Click the name of a database to connect to that resource.
No matter what database you search, if you are given the option to search Full Text (there's usually a check box next to the phrase), always select that option.
The databases listed in the General category have articles about a wide
array of topics. Academic Search Complete (EBSCO) is always a good place to start your research. Also use OmniFile Full Text Mega Edition (Wilson) and America's Newspapers (NewsBank) as starting points.
There are databases for every academic area. In addition to the categories listed on the database page, you may wish to refer to these guides produced by the SJR State Librarians to see which databases address your subject area.
Once you have searched a database and received a list of results, you need to get the article.
If the complete article does not appear below the citation when you click the title from the results list, you may need to go one more step. Look for a link to either the HTML full text or the PDF. The PDF is a scanned image of the article and requires the free Adobe Acrobat reader to view.

If you have any problems or questions about using these databases, please do not hesitate to contact your campus Public Services Librarian.
