We have a number of databases, but the ones we use the most are ABC-Clio
(we have 6, but Modern World History and World Religions get the most use),
EBSCO (MAS Ultra, AP Images, Newspaper Source Plus, Academic Premier),
Newsbank, Proquest (Historical Newspapers, History Study Center), and yes,
definitely JSTOR. To see our full list, click here

I'm a newbie librarian trying to build a good selection of databases for
our students, but the sheer number of databases available is overwhelming.
Our most popular one is ProQuest (Research Library and National Newspapers
Core), but that's probably because it's the one I've used when teaching
research strategies. When I ask my faculty they all just say JSTOR - every
single one, across all departments - which I'm reluctant to buy since we
can get it for free from the public library.
So I'm turning to you all and your collective wisdom. What databases do
you recommend, and what ones get the most activity from your students?
Thanks!
