Journal databases are organised collections of information records that can be accessed electronically. We mainly use them to find and access journal articles. They:

• 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 Journal Databases page.

Databases are grouped into subject areas. The Nursing,  Allied Health or Pharmacy Databases will be particularly useful for your study.

Go to our CINAHL Plus with Full-Text database, and try searching for paramedic* AND "shift work"

• Did you get less results than Primo Search and Google Scholar? Being an health 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  button to check if the article is available elsewhere.
