EBSCO database

 At DeVry Brasil’s colleges, it is easy to find reliable and current resources for your papers in our comprehensive library.

Students and faculty have access to more than 30 thousand electronic journals in the fields of Business, Engineering, Law, Health and others.

The access is made available by EBSCO Information Services, a company that provides subscriptions of printed publications, electronic journals, e-books, newspapers, magazines, electronic resource management tools, full-text and summary databases as well as services related to all types of research organizations.

The searching interface allows queries in Portuguese or English and the results can be translated from one language into another. It provides access to a powerful tool that allows multiple resources, from a simple search, as in Web search engines, to sophisticated searches with Boolean operators, wildcards and truncations.

An interesting feature is the SmartText Searching, a mechanism that allows you to enter part of a text or an entire page in the search box. Using a sophisticated algorithm, SmartText analyses the text and assigns a weight to each term, returning a result list based on relevance.
