Search Tools

Search.Libraries

Books, articles, scores, recordings, and films at Oberlin, OhioLINK, online, and beyond.

Databases A-Z

The Databases A-Z list provides a complete alphabetical list of searchable databases accessible to you through the Oberlin College Libraries. The databases range from those that cover multiple subject areas, e.g. JSTOR or Web of Science, to more narrow research topics, e.g. SOCIndex.

They contain both citations and full text for ebooks, peer reviewed journals, newspapers, magazines, data sets, images, music, primary documents, and more. You will want to use them for finding credible and scholarly materials required for your college research.

If you are unsure which databases are best for your research topic try using the subject and type filters, consult a subject or course guide, Ask a Librarian, or make a research appointment.

Course Reserves

Materials on reserve for a specific course. Search for course reserve lists by course instructor's name, course name, or course code.

Journals A-Z

Use to browse complete issues of a journal, magazine, or newspaper or to check Oberlin's access to a title. To find individual articles, use Search.Libraries.

OhioLINK

Books & ebooks, scores, videos, and audio available from OhioLINK institutions. Use this option to request physical items from other libraries.

WorldCat

WorldCat contains more than 43 million records describing books and other items owned by libraries around the world. You can search for popular books, music, CDs, and videos—all of the physical items you're used to getting from libraries. You can also discover digital content, such as downloadable audiobooks.
