What article databases does the Tyndale WorldCat search by default?

The Tyndale WorldCat searches all the electronic article databases available through the Tyndale library collections by default:

How do I tell the Tyndale WorldCat to search the article database(s) that I want it to? 

Take the following steps to tell the Tyndale WorldCat to search the specific article database(s) that you want it to:

  1. On the Tyndale library website (www.tyndale.ca/library) click on the Advanced Search link
  2. Click on the Add / remove databases >> button
  3. Select the database(s) that you would like the Tyndale WorldCat to search
  4. Click on the Save Selections button
  5. Conduct your search using the Tyndale WorldCat

NOTE: If you want to search an individual database outside WorldCat it is often better to search that database directly. To find a list of Tyndale Library databases go to http://www.tyndale.ca/library/resources , Individual databases often allow you to search fields not included in WorldCat.
