Why use a specific database instead of just searching UMBrella?
- Different databases have different built-in features that are not present in UMBrella (such as controlled vocabulary)
- If you are finding too many results in UMBrella that don't relate to your topic, it may work better to go straight to a subject-specific database (for example, using MLA International Bibliography or Literature Resource Center when doing research on a novel, or PsycINFO when surveying the psychology literature)
