A library database is a searchable, electronic collection of scholarly resources. Databases provide access to a wealth of useful research materials from academic journals. They may also include other materials like newspapers, magazines, e-books, relevant Web resources, or multimedia. Some databases include content from a specific subject area, while others have content from across disciplines.
The following databases cover disability from an educational perspective. They include content from all levels of education, including higher education.
The following databases cover disability from a primarily biomedical perspective. They include content from across the health sciences, including public health, health policy, psychology, nursing, and more.
