For information on the Library's legal research resources, use the Law Databases page and the D'Angelo Law Library Research Guides page to find guides by jurisdiction, topic and on foreign and international law. For non-law topics, use Database Finder and browse by subject to find relevant databases. Use the University Library Research Guides by Subject pages to find resources in particular disciplines or subject areas.
