What is a Database?

A database is a collection of information organized for easy retrieval, with the information usually behind a paywall. The Library provides NMH students and staff access to over 80 databases.  

Library Databases might organize:

  • articles from scholarly journals, magazines, newspapers, and trade publications
  • ebooks
  • streaming video or audio
  • images
  • reports
  • biographies
  • statistics
  • and so much more!

The information in the databases might be available in multiple ones, but sometimes databases have original content or are only provided for resources. Think of it as Netflix, Hulu, Max, etc. Each works very similarly and has some of the same content, but then there are shows/movies/documentaries only available on one platform.

Highlighted Journals

Meridians

The goal of Meridians is to make scholarship by and about women of color central to contemporary definitions of feminisms in the explorations of women’s economic conditions, cultures, and sexualities, as well as of the forms and meanings of resistance and activist strategies. The journal is a venture of Smith College and is published twice a year by Duke University Press.


Journal of Women's History

The award-winning Journal of Women's History is the first journal devoted exclusively to the international field of women's history. It publishes cutting-edge scholarship from around the globe in all historical periods.
