Research Guides: Neuroscience: Get Started

Key Resources

Welcome! This guide will get you started with library-based research in neuroscience.

If you are new to conducting research:
Consider reviewing the Starting Your Research tutorial to learn the phases and processes of doing research.

To find books or articles we own, or to see what we have on a particular topic, use Library Search on the Library's website.

Start your research and find articles with these key databases:

Citations covering journals in the sciences (1900-present), social sciences (1956-present), and arts and humanities (1997-present). Forward and backward search capabilities make this a particularly strong database. Use the filters along the left of the page after searching to narrow your results.
