The Academic Search Premier database from EBSCO is one of the most well-known and respected research databases. This large, multidisciplinary database contains 4,600+ journals in the fields of psychology, education, leadership, business, arts, sciences, and more.
The UI&U Library lists Academic Search Premier as one of our six recommended databases for beginning your research and with good reason: a search in this database will find articles on almost any topic. The database also offers numerous ways to refine your search, such as limiting results by date, peer-reviewed status, and document type. The database toolbar includes options to print, email, view citation, and create a direct link.
You can access the Academic Search Premier database from the Databases by Subject page.

New: Historical Video Database Trials
The UI&U Library is currently considering the acquisition of two new video databases: American History in Video and World History in Video. Before we commit to a yearly subscription, we're running an open trial period, and would appreciate your feedback. The trial runs until June 29, 2012. If, after exploring these databases, you feel that they would be valuable additions to our library, please let us know.
American History in Video send feedback
"People who witness notable historic moments, either in real time or on film, remember forever how they felt at the time. Who can forget the shock of seeing the helicopter pushed off the USS Blue Ridge carrier at the Fall of Saigon in 1975, or the thrill of watching Neil Armstrong taking his first step onto the moon’s surface? Now you can experience these and tens of thousands of other historical moments in the same visceral way, with American History in Video."
"As a biographical resource, American History in Video will include hundreds of profiles of great American leaders and personalities. As an encyclopedia of history, it provides footage of seminal historic events. Compare Kennedy’s rhetorical flair with Nixon’s. Examine racial stereotypes as presented in newsreels featuring African Americans prior to 1950. Consider Ed Herlihy’s use of alliteration and other tropes of propaganda in WW2 newsreels. These and thousands of other searches are easy with American History in Video".--Alexander Street Press
World History in Video send feedback
"This online collection of streaming video will give faculty, students, and history lovers access to more than 1,750 important, critically acclaimed documentaries from filmmakers worldwide. A rich survey of human history from the earliest civilizations to the fall of the Berlin Wall, World History in Video is truly global in scope, covering Africa and the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania. Its unparalleled geographical and chronological coverage delivers the sights, sounds, artifacts, and histories from around the world straight to your desktop.
Included in World History in Video are many of the documentaries most frequently used today in university-level classes teaching world history, ancient history, Western civilization, European history, regional history, and documentary film."- Alexander Street Press
