Many of our databases are made by a company called EBSCO. One of the great things about EBSCO databases is that they're structured the same. So if you learn how to use one, you have a good grasp on how to search all of them. This section of our research guide shows you search two of them that are relevant for EMTM topics.

The video embedded above shows you how to search Academic Search Complete, which is one of the three databases ideal for applied science research.
