Some specialized databases recommended for your class topics are:

General Databases

Kraemer Library subscribes to 150+ databases. The following of the databases are multidisciplinary (they cover a lot of subjects) so they are a good starting point for your research.

If you can't find information about your topic in any of these general databases, try using different keywords.

All library databases can be found listed alphabetically and by subject on the Library home page under the link, Select a Database.
