This quarter we are introducing a new interface for navigating our nearly 500 databases. Now you can easily view all the topics in an overview manner.  To access the new database listing, click “Databases (new view)” on the Penrose home page (library.du.edu).  On the new database page, if you click on a topic you will see relevant subdivisions. Clicking on a topic subdivision will provide a listing of databases.

As the image below demonstrates, clicking the title of the database will take you to the resource.

In addition to the topical listings, at the top of the main database page you can search across many of our journal holdings in a single search using the Summon search box. On the right side of the database page you can search Credo Reference, a full text search of well over 700 reliable reference resources. We hope that you find our new organization easy to use, but if you have difficulties, please notify us at research-help@du.edu.

Career Insider (powered by Vault) is Penrose Library’s flagship database for careers.

It provides a searchable interface to find jobs, resources for researching companies and industries, career advice, and downloadable guides that discuss a wide range of careers as well as how to write resumes. You will have to register before using this source. You can find Career Insider in the Penrose Library database listings. (These are our databases that begin with “C”. Scroll down until you see Career Insider.)

Penrose Library also has hundreds of books on careers, how to write resumes and cover letters, and books with job interviewing tips. To identify these items, search the library catalog using keywords for the topic in which you are interested.

In addtion, the library has a Career Resources Guide that identifies a wide range of sources, including databases that can help you find information about companies, nonprofits, and industries. Click on the following URL to retrieve this guide: libguides.du.edu/careers
