KNOWLEDGE is a bibliographic database, positioned as an abstracting & indexing service and act as a knowledge access gateway using a unique search platform. KNOWLEDGE also act as a discovery service where information is harvested & displayed using metadata with links to the full text on the publisher website site.
Knowledge Database is a collection of e- journals, e-books, e-articles, e-Thesis recent news/events/conference information(subscribed subjects), etc. on a single platform.
Q: Which database should I use?
That depends on what you're looking for. It is often a good idea to start with Knowledge Hub because it has a wide variety of articles, journals, books, magazines, newspapers, newsletters, case study etc.
Q:How do I access Knowledge Database?
You will need to login using your USER NAME and Password. Please note that K-hub is available only on Institutional Subscription. Other users who may have been granted e-rsources on a limited basis (eg Visitor accounts) may not have access.
Q: The library catalogue shows that we should have access to a journal but I am being asked for a user name and password?
Some journals and databases have a “My Journal/Database” service. If you register, this will usually allow you to save searches and articles. This is an optional service, and you do not need to register on a site in order to view the articles.
Q: What is the difference between a journal and a magazine?
"Journal" is library shorthand for "Scholarly Journal". An article in a scholarly journal represents the research that scholar has undertaken. An article in a magazine isn't usually written by a scholar and may or may not represent original research.
Q: Do all databases search the same way?
The basics of searching remain the same for all databases, but each database has its own quirks. It is always worthwhile to check the database's help screens to see what those quirks are.
