HRM540 Research Skills Guide: Use Journal Databases

Why Should You Use Journal Databases?

Journal databases:

  • Are the best source of academic or scholarly information for your assessments
  • help you locate peer reviewed articles
  • Are subject specific, so that you get more relevant results
  • Have many options for refining results

You can find the Library's databases on the A-Z Databases page.

Databases are grouped into subject areas. The Policing, Security & Emergency Management and Law & Government lists will be particularly useful for your study. The Indigenous Studies databases may also be helpful as well.

TRY IT NOW

Go to the Academic Source Complete  database, and try typing in  – reconciliation AND indigenous Australia* (you may need to sign in first with your CSU username and password).

  • Did you get less results than Primo Search?  Being a Business database, they should be more relevant to your topic.
  • Look at the HTML and PDF links to access the full text of the article.
  • If you cannot find the full text click on the Find it button to check if the article is available elsewhere.
