Which database should I use?

A good way to choose which database to get started with is by going to our Research and Course Guides, designed by librarians to help you get started with your research. Below is a screenshot of the Research Guides page.

Another option is to choose databases by category: Most Popular, Subject, Title, or Trials.
- To do this, go the the CSUSM University Library homepage.
- Look for where it says Databases under the OneSearch Bar.
- Click on which type of Databases you are looking for (Most Popular, By Subject, By Title, Trials).
- Then you can click on the database you think will most closely match your needs.
