There are many other library databases that might be of use depending on the focus of your topic.  If you are looking at issues related to health, literature,  history, or government policy aspects, for instance, you will want to take a look at other subject areas.  All of these categories have their own specialized, core databases, which an be located at the "Databases by Subject" page.
