Databases
We offer multiple paths to find databases for your research projects.
Find a database
This search box finds library databases by their titles and descriptions. It does not search for articles within databases. Keyword searches won't work here. (If you don't know which database to use, try one of the links listed below.)
The library arranges trials of databases we are considering to purchase or subscribe to. Whenever possible, we arrange for these trials to be accessible off campus; we will indicate any cases where use is limited to on-campus computers. Each trial lasts for a limited period and will have a feedback survey to collect insights of users. Your comments on the usability, scope of content, and applicability to research, and other uses at Virginia Tech will inform our decisions.
- BBC Monitoring: Summary of World BroadcastsKindly provide feedback on this database, which is currently on trial until November 3, 2023.
BBC Monitoring: Summary of World Broadcasts contains original, almost daily reports of the world's media output as disseminated on radio, wireless telegraph, and later television and internet. Reports often included commentary and evaluation by subject-matter experts, as well as synopses and specialist briefings. The purpose of gathering open-source intelligence was to help Britain and its allies understand global dynamics and assess emerging global threats and capabilities. Coverage spans from the start of WWII to the early 21st century (1939-2001).
