Databases and search portals
Articles in journals or edited volumes are indispensable sources for conducting research, but library catalogs list primarily titles of books and journals. However, you can search for articles in interdisciplinary and subject-specific databases.
In the following section, we would like to provide you with an overview of databases for economics and social sciences that may help with your literature search.
In addition, the Datenbank-Infosystem (DBIS) provides a list of all licensed and freely accessible databases available to you as members of Universität Hamburg. As licensing terms vary widely, please note the information regarding restricted access rights.
