Research Databases

Nearly all of our databases are from EBSCOhost. Exceptions are the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), ProQuest, and Google Scholar.

For off-campus access, sign-in with your Bank Street email address and password. Some online classes have their own special access code. If you’re having trouble logging in from home, check your email and password, and retype it again. If you still need support, call the IT Help Desk at 212-875-4642 or email helpdesk@bankstreet.edu


Databases

The easiest way to find articles is through the Library’s homepage search box. Make sure you select “Search Everything.” For patrons who prefer individual databases, the list below is a good place to start.

Search Everything

We recommend graduate students use the Search Everything function on the Library homepage.

Other Resources

Looking for new research from educational institutions outside the USA? Try DOAJ. Make Google Scholar more useful by adding Library Links to your Google profile. WorldCat is a useful database for identifying which library owns a particular resource.
