Find Databases
To help you with your research we have over 800 electronic databases. (Our database lists include useful websites and journal collection search interfaces, where you can search for articles across a range of journal titles.)
NB: Most databases are Library subscribed and, owing to licensing reasons, are only available from British Library workstations within the Library's Reading Rooms and Business & IP Centre.
Remote Eresources is a pilot service, providing access to three historical Readex newspaper collections. It allows St Pancras registered readers, with a valid photographic pass, to access remotely (where licensing and technology permit) electronic resources normally only available in the British Library's reading rooms.
