You can use databases to easily find organized collections of articles, journals, news, streaming videos, primary sources, data, and more!  
This month, we highlight one of our unique history and politics databases: Revolution and Protest Online.

What’s in it? 
Revolution and Protest Online features primary source videos, images, books, articles, and reports about resistance movements globally from the 1800s to the modern day. You can search by location, theme, organization, and people. Discover key texts in revolutionary social movements from Europe to China to the Middle East.

Why should you use it? 
Primary sources are hard to find, but if you need primary source materials in your modern history or politics classes, this could be an invaluable resource for you. 

Who should use it? 

Students and faculty in the disciplines of history, political science, and sociology, or anyone interested in this topic!

Why use a database? 

When you use a specific database, rather than a search engine or discovery tool, you can often find more relevant sources. For example, subject databases include sources about that subject only, rather than a general search engine or discovery tool that includes information about everything. This way you don’t have to wade through thousands of irrelevant results!
