Now that you have learned how to narrow the databases by subject, let's explore the recommended subject-specific databases.
When you select a subject using the All Subjects filter on the A-Z Databases page, a list of databases related to that subject will appear in a list.
When selecting Biology, available at libguides.ucmerced.edu/az.php?s=6878 which will open in a new tab, you will find a list of over 45 databases. At the top of the list, there are three databases listed as Best Bets. A screenshot of what appears at the live site is provided below.
Best Bets are recommended databases that can help you get started with finding information for topics related to a particular subject. Best Bets for Biology include BioOne Complete, Biosis Citation Index, and ScienceDirect.
Notice that the database descriptions provide you with more information about each database. Biosis Citation Index, for example, lists content from 5,300 journals, as well as conference proceedings, books, and patents.
