Despite the possibilities offered by Google Scholar, it may be necessary to conduct a literature search for your topic in (licensed) academic databases for reasons of the quality criteria already mentioned.
You can find an overview of the databases offered by the HSLU here.
The databases can be subject-specific or interdisciplinary. If you select a database from your subject area, this makes it easier to find the relevant literature.
There are different types of academic databases:
- Reference databases
- Full-text databases
- Statistical databases
Our library staff can help you choose the right database.
