Further information on PBA web databases

The following resources are not just "web sites," but subscription databases. Most of these resources are limited to PBA students, faculty, and staff. [To use them off-campus, you will be required to identify yourself to the PBA Library Proxy Server.] Non-PBA users have access only at research computers in the library. There are a few exceptions: the SHELLS, Serials at PBA, and PBA Library Web Catalog databases are available to anyone.

You can learn about these databases by subject, or browse an alphabetical list. What follows is a brief introduction to each resource, based on information from the publishers. These descriptions are intended to help you select the one(s) which may be most beneficial for your needs, and to give basic information which may help you get started.
