CDF 480: Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity Capstone

SU Library's OneSearch

OneSearch can be a good place to start your research.  You may even be able to do all of your research here.  This tool includes magazines, newspapers, academic journals, ebooks, and more.  When you use OneSearch remember that it is searching a broad range of databases that are not all related to Cybersecurity.  These can make your OneSearch research more effective:

• Database searches aren't like Google searches.
• Think about the keywords you are using and be specific.
• Starting with an "Advanced Search" can help you better customize your search.
• Review the results list carefully and note how you might access an item on the list.
• Take advantage of the built-in tools to help you refine your search.

SU Library Databases Best Bets

These databases focus on areas of importance in cybersecurity and digital forensics.  You will likely return to these databases over and over again when completing research assignments.  Note how these databases look and work differently from OneSearch or other databases you may have used.  Take some time to get familiar with these databases and understand how they work and all of the information they provide about publishing, citing, and author credentials.
