Introduction
There is more to online research than Westlaw, Lexis, and Google. The Law Library subscribes to a number of useful databases that cover things not covered in Westlaw or Lexis, or present similar information in a more user-friendly way.
Additionally, the undergrad libraries at Pace subscribe to a wide range of databases in the social sciences, arts, humanities, business, science, and many other disciplines. These can be invaluable when researching an interdisciplinary topic.
