About This Page

This page provides links and annotations for databases available at our library. Use these databases to find journal articles and conference papers pertinent to your research. Most of these databases require a UMass Dartmouth e-mail account to use from off-campus.

Example for finding information for Water Quality in Engineering Village 2:

Use the Browse Indexes box in the top left. Click on "controlled terms", type "water", and look through the list for the one you wish to search. Click the box to the left of it to add the controlled term to your search.
