What is a Library database?

A Library database provides quality information that is available to you online. Library databases contain information such as:

  • scholarly peer-reviewed articles

  • articles from journals, magazines, and newspapers on many topics

  • newspaper articles

  • trade publications

  • book reviews

  • magazine articles

  • entries from encyclopedias or dictionaries

  • dissertations/theses

Trout Library subscribes to 30 subscription-based databases. Subscription-based databases require user login authentication to access off-campus. You will need to enter the username and password to access the database off-campus.

You can find the​​ Library Database Password List as an icon on the Harcum Hatch portal. When you click on the icon, it will take you to the page that lists the usernames and passwords that are needed to access the Library's subscription-based databases.

The Library also provides links to 27 open access databases which are freely available on the Internet.

To access the Library Databases, click on the Databases link for more information.
