Bible & Ministry Databases

What are Databases?

Young Library provides several databases for research.  These databases are collections of articles and some e-books.  These are subscription databases designed for professional research.

Where are they located?

All Young Library databases are located on the library web page.

  • Go to the Library web page (https:www.kcu.edu/library)
  • Click on the tab labeled "Research" on the left
  • Click on the tab at the top labeled "Databases"
  • You may use any databases in the "General" subheading section.  Also use the designated databases under "Bible & Ministry"

Why should I use these databases?

 Using subscription databases gives you ways to set limits on your searches.  This will make your results easier to filter.  It is also easier to locate peer-reviewed scholarly research through databases.

Can I use Google Scholar?

Google Scholar can be used in your research.  However, it is not a good starting place, it is much better to use it towards the end of your research process.
