Databases are collections of online resources such as journal articles, books, images and music. They allow you to search across many sources at the same time.
Each issue of a journal contains articles written by academics or journalists. A journal article reference provides the information you need to trace an article.
Ejournals are like online academic magazines and cover a particular topic or area of interest. They are usually published on a regular basis: quarterly, monthly or even annually.
Ebooks are online versions of print books. Our collection includes dictionaries, encyclopedias, textbooks and many other types of book, covering a wide range of subjects.
Live online training sessions and self-guided skills development activities are available to help you learn to make the most of online information resources.
These resources have been selected in support of the OU's commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). You will find books, articles, journals and more to learn about these topics.
