Library Resources

USF Libraries negotiate with several different vendors and publishers for electronic resources. Many of those resources may be discoverable via simple browser search, for example, a search of Google Scholar will return several scholarly articles for which access has been negotiated by the Libraries.

The following table is meant as a helpful guide to databases and collections that allow text and data mining and/or offer an API for researchers to use for extracting data. Users who plan on using any of the linked resources should read the terms and conditions of the resource in full before proceeding with their project. Please feel free to send questions to your subject librarian or copyright librarian.
