Handout Access Subject Specific Databases
The Ort Library offers access to over 90 databases. There will be times when you want to search a specific database rather than OneSearch. To access the databases, you can utilize the A-Z listing of the databases.
To access the A-Z list of databases:
- Go to the library’s home page: https://www.frostburg.edu/library/
- Select the link A-Z Databases, which can be found under the OneSearch Search Box
- This will bring you to the List of A-Z Databases.
- To access a specific database, simply click the first letter of the database you want to access.
- It will then bring you to a list of databases that start with the letter you selected.
- Click the title of the database you want to search/access.
- You can also select a specific subject and see which databases are available under that subject.
- To select a specific subject, select drop down at the top of the screen that says All Subjects and pick the subject you want.
- For example, if Computer Science was selected, the list of databases for the subject of Computer Science would be shown.
If you are off-campus, once you select a database, you will then be prompted to log in with your FSU username/password. Once you have entered your login information, the database will launch, and you can access the database just as if you were on-campus.
