Online Resources
& Summon Discovery Tool

Through Wake Tech Libraries, you have access to over a hundred research databases. Some of these are multidisciplinary--they cover a wide range of subjects. Some are more specific--they only cover one or a few subjects. Depending on your topic, you'll likely want to try searching a couple databases.

If you want to search all the databases at one time, you can try using our Summon Discovery Tool.

Searching these research databases can be a little more complicated than searching Google. So if you can't seem to find what you're looking for, don't hesitate to ask a library staff member for help. We're here to help you find the information you need!
