ProQuest tip:
For databases in the above list marked as (ProQuest), enter your searches in the Advanced Search tab and change the dropdown menu on the right from "Anywhere" to "Anywhere but Full Text" or another option. By choosing "Anywhere but Full Text", the database will look for the words in more relevant fields such as subject headings or titles rather than searching for the words to appear anywhere in an entire article. This provides a much more accurate search from the outset.
Here you will find a selection of databases useful for social science research into yellow fever. For additional databases, see the full list of Gumberg Library Social Sciences databases.
